It’s great to hear that you are in the process of joining the IFATC team! I’m not available currently, but I would love to join a future session! Be sure to tag me when you open next. Cheers mate!
Hi @FN60fps, I was there on your Frequency a couple of minutes back
~ Perfect taxi when I requested the wrong runway
~ Sequence and clearance was spot on
~ Rw change and clearance was spot on
~ No pattern entry for the Fedex 2727
~ No resequence / re-clearance to N1322K ( he was told to follow me) should have been given no 1 clear for the option after I requested for a runway change
~ For the upwind conflict with N1322K you should have given me extend upwind and made me turn downwind once we had adequate spacing
~ Perfect catch of the Go-Around with N1322K ( You could have used Please expedite traffic is on final to avoid the Go-Around)
Aircraft that are already cleared aren’t required to receive an additional clearance, even if other aircraft are squeezed in. Furthermore, a resequence would be the best thing to do.
For the most part, this is spot on. Although, I’ve made a small chart to help explain what to do in all inbound situations. Essentially, when approach is active, there are some inbound approaches that do not require certain things:
Hope this helps! Cheers, very excited to see you join IFATC very soon!
Edit: I think I was mistaken; GPS does not need pattern entry even without approach services since they already have the approach filed, but I am not 100% sure. So if another IFATC member could help clarify that would be beyond great! Thanks guys!
