For departing aircraft: Unless you are flying patterns, please file your flight plan before contacting ATC.)
Also
Please only use “Remaining in the Pattern” if you are planning on doing touch&gos/patterns!Otherwise, please use the “departing north, south, east, west" or "straight out” command.
Hey There, N428OP. Overall, good job with the early clearances. On the runway change, you instructed me to enter right downwind as I was entering a left downwind. Often times, it’s better to have them enter on the opposite side than have an aircraft cross the airport if they are already in the pattern. I also didn’t get a runway exit instruction. You’ve got a good start but keep up the practice!
Hey! I was Magic Sun 1. Sorry I couldn’t stay long at your session.
Here are a few points of feedback from me:
• I firstly asked for a transition and you then said “say intentions”, however I already told you my intentions of transition through the airspace. I then requested again and you then approved it so all good.
• Remember when I call inbound to give a pattern entry. When I called inbound for touch and go, you cleared me straight up for the option on 10R, however no pattern entry was given to me. Always give aircraft a pattern entry unless inbound on ILS/GPS/Visual. In this case, you could’ve told me to enter right downwind for 10R, sequence (if applicable) and then issued the clearance.
That’s all though.
Keep up the controlling and I’m sure you’ll continue to improve :)!
