Hi! I’m in the training process to become an IFATC. After being authorized by my trainer @Anthony_Morgan, I decided to open the Tracking Thread. Anyone wishing to come is free to do so and to give me advice. Thank you! 🛫

I’m focusing on:
Pattern work
Sequencing
Runway Change
If anyone wants to help me in other aspects as well as Transition they are free to do so
I’m sorry for some mistakes. In the next sessions I will try not to do them again. I don’t know why I made them. Sometimes I didn’t do them, today I was a bit distracted.
✅ No conflict when taxi for departure;
✅ T/O with direction;
✅ Clearance as #1 for option on 24R;
✅ Sequence and clearance for PZ-REZ; Point of focus beginning
✅ [15:27:16] Good pattern entry for my r/w change for 24L
✅ [15:27:27] Good clearance with new direction to take
⚠️ You should have resequenced (cleared in this case) PZ-REZ as #1 since he was #2 behind me and I’m now on 24L. Point of focus end
⚠️ [15:35:37] Late clearance…had to announce position on base but the good thing is that you catched it and cleared me…
✅ [15:39:02] You entered me left downwind for 24R while on upwind and no conflict…would be easier and reduce workload / potential confusion for sequencing to enter me right d/w right there but it is not a mistake…but…the other way is usually learned…
✅ [15:39:21] Good clearance with new direction to take after 👍🏻
⚠️ [15:42:02] I had to request a freq. change…if no conflict, try to hand off right after departure approval…
✅ [15:42:53] Good transition
✅ [15:45:49] Good inbound pattern entry
✅ [15:45:59] Good clearance to land That sequence was perfect
✅ [15:48:12] Go around for me (maybe a bit early but if you don’t feel it, it was OK)
✅ [15:48:20] Cancel T/O for Shamrock
✅ [15:49:33] T/O clearance once the way was clear end
⚠️ [15:49:53] No need for a pattern entry since you gave me right traffic with my G/A
✅ [15:50:18] Clearance to land
✅ Exit r/w right on spot 👌🏻
It was a pretty good session. Would have been great to have more pilots to see your sequences a bit more.
You had a bit of room to wait and see before that go around was necessary but it was not a bad decision…
Don’t forget to resequence when the situation change in front of an aircraft …
Good work again! Hope that this helped and to see you soon in the IFATC team!
Information Session 11 August
Server: Training
Airport: LGAV
Frequency: Ground and Tower
Runways: 03R and 03L
Time: 2022-08-11T15:00:00Z→2022-08-11T16:00:00Z
I’m focusing on:
Pattern work
Sequencing
Runway Change
If anyone wants to help me in other aspects as well as Transition they are free to do so
When OO-LXV requested change to 03L. I-NDIA had just taken off 03L yet OO-LXV was given enter left downwind command, but you corrected it very quickly.
Alternatively you could have also used extend upwind command then as I-NDIA turned crosswind you could have given enter left downwind 03L to OO-LXV. What you did was good but with more planes it would become confusing to note who is going to which runway.
Exit runway commands were late, Should try getting just less then 70kts
sequencing and clearances were given nice and early
15:09:27 I-NDIA was asked to give way to aircraft on the left, there wasn’t going to be a conflict in that particular situation when you gave the command. But it shows you were aware of potential conflicts :)
