Getting denied to land at airports

what reasons might approach atc tell somebody that the airport isnt accepting traffic into it but let a other people fly in? i just spent 10 hours of my life planning for and flying across the world with the community just to be denied entry at my destination and then given a violation that ended up in me going to grade 2 and unable fly with everybody.

Probably high traffic. And if you were told to divert… did you divert?

if it was high traffic couldn’t i just be put in a hold or given vectors back to center airspace

also i didn’t hear anybody else getting that message from him. to me it seemed like he was annoyed i had to go around and didnt know what to do when that heppens. idk. his directions wouldnhave lead me into a mountainside.

Perhaps try contacting the controller that gave you the violation as they will be the one who can best answer your questions as to why you weren’t accepted in and the reason for the violation

I can’t say for sure since I wasn’t there, but the people who did get to land were probably already close to the airport when arriving traffic began getting denied. Even though ATC didn’t tell you to, you still could’ve requested a diversion and instead flew clear of arriving traffic and done your own hold until things cleared up or you needed to divert due to fuel.

But as has been said the only person who can really answer your questions is the controller. Check the replay for their username and PM them.

i did try leaving the airspace multiple times and coming back but he kept denying me

How long did you leave the airspace for?

long enough for me to see there was room for me to join the approach and far away enought for rough vectors around for spacing

Idk then. Contact the controller.

i did but im assuming that will take a while for a response

Ok good. Just wait then. There’s no point in further speculation.

Did you take off close to where you wanted to land? That’s usually when entry is denied

He said he spent 10 hours planning and flying.

Hi! Sorry to hear that you had bad experience on ES. Since you received a violation, it’s better to have appeals Team take look at this.
