Heading 160 and 170 vectored me into a kind of tight downwind which after became a fast final turn. heading 180 would have been more appropriate initially.
Hello @Henrik003, I was the one who was controlling ground and tower, I am currently preparing for the IFATC practical exam so I decided to help you out
Your welcome! I accidently issued a pattern work to all visual approaches which was unnecessary because I was working with radar and therefore only a sequence is required if there are not number 1.
[20:47:50] & [20:56:39] - It would’ve been better if you gave me HDG 150 initially - 30 degrees off from a downwind heading of 180. The 140 you gave me at [21:05:38] is also fine, since the runway headings here aren’t the best to work with.
[20:53:01] - You can hand off as soon as you’ve cleared an aircraft for the visual, you don’t have to wait for them to turn to final.
[20:51:54] & [21:00:41] - HDG 270 would be better for the base turn, the 260 at [21:12:28] was also fine, again, cause of the runway headings at LIML.
[21:08:01] - I don’t know if your finger slipped, or you actually meant to give me HDG 160, 180 would’ve been preferable.
[21:14:17] - The intercept was, technically, ~30 degrees, so I’ll let that slide.
Overall, there aren’t any show stoppers, just some things to polish on. I’d recommend training at another airport, though, with better runway headings - the ones at LIML are really in-between-ish and aren’t exactly helpful for establishing controller habits. Thanks for having me, feel free to ping me for future sessions - I can’t guarantee I’ll be able to attend, but I’ll pay a visit whenever I can!
