PHNL is now closed :)
Hey there! You did good, just a few mistakes to work on.
- The transition altitude shouldāve been 3,000 feet not 2,500 feet. The formula to solve transition altitude is this Airportās Altitude + 1,500 feet + 1,000 feet = Your altitude for the transition . So in that case, PHNLās airport altitude is about 60 ft so Iād add that and add 1,500 feet + 1,000 feet, Iād get 2,500 feet. But then, Iām not done. I have to round UP to the nearest 500. Then you get 3,000 feet. Which is your transition altitude.
See this for more information
- You forgot to give D-RAZE after the option make left/right traffic. This is required if someone request a runway change and theyāre doing touch and goes. So an example is letās say Iām flying patterns at an airport on runway 22. And I want to switch to runway 15. So, you would first give me a pattern entry for runway 15. Next, you would give me what aircraft Iām following (If thereās traffic going to land on that runway.) If Iām the only one for that runway. You can just give me number 1. Next you would select cleared for the option. And then youāll see after the option make left or right traffic. So then itās your choice to either give me left or right traffic.
- You forgot to clear me for the option on my 1st pattern. This is KEY and youāre required to give this command out for when someone is doing touch and goes.
- SpeedBird 345 shouldāve been given number 3, traffic to follow is on final since N121WS said that they were going around.
- HA-BIL shouldāve been cleared for the option as number 2.
- You forgot to sequence me on my last pattern. This is also required if someone else is landing or doing touch and goes on the same runway.
- You forgot to give D-RAZE a go around command when he was getting a little close to the runway with traffic still on the runway.
- You forgot to give me an exit runway command. Exit runway commands for commercial aircraft (example A320ās B737ās) should be given in between 70 knots and 40 knots. If itās a general aviation aircraft (example TBM 930, C172ās) give them the exit runway command below 40 knots. If your late with the exit runway command below that speed. Donāt worry. Your ok, still give them the command. But if there on the taxiway, plus crossed the hold short line. Just give them to contact ground or Unicom.
Thanks Jen! Feel free to tag me next time you open š

Hey Jennifer! I was N121WS in the Cessna 172 - the reason for choosing this aircraft being to test your spacial awareness which I must admit needs a slight bit more practice; but nothing wrong with that. Now onto your feedback! š
Feedback:
-
I would recommend making use of all runways even if they are intersecting when having high volumes of traffic. I could have easily taken off from 4R even if it was only a departure runway and then put on 8L.
-
You probably could have gotten me out before D-RAZE however its good to be safe so all good there!
-
No LUAW command when D-RAZE went past the threshold. Cole mentioned this too, being proactive is a fantastic tool especially when I am in a light aircraft.
-
I donāt know why the 737 was cleared for takeoff first when I requested but the only issue there is courtesy haha!
-
When the 737 took off he was already off the ground before you had cleared me; this leads to the point before about being proactive with departures because it allows you to get them out quickly. There was no way I would have caught up with that 737 being in my small C172.
-
To make your life easier I would always recommend clearing inner aircraft and GA aircraft before airliners because they make much tighter patterns and mean for no conflict.
-
On my first final despite putting it in chat and using countless report commands I still wasnāt cleared and had to G/A. Sequence + Clear aircraft early so you donāt get yourself in a muddle like this. Itās a really awesome tip.
-
On my second attempt I should have been cleared for No. 2 on 8L not No 3. because MJP was already past the threshold.
-
And lastly no exit runway command. I know its tricky when dealing with so many aircraft however it really is important to get the hang off!
Thats it from me awesome first session! Well done! Hopefully I see you as IFATC soon! Refrain from tagging me next time you open; I will come when free! š

Same here! @Jennifer23 I think that, after reviewing the rest of the feedback, you have all the major points needed! I will, however, add one thing: When an aircraft reports āon (pattern leg), runway xx, full stopā, you should use the āClear to landā command instead of āCleared for the option.ā When they call in like this, they are announcing their intentions of terminating pattern work, and while clearing for the option still clears them to land, it is better to clear to land. This way, you can know they wonāt take off again and catch you off guard
