Nice tracking thread! 👍🏼

Sorry I don’t have more time. I d9 know it’s frustrating to wait out your time on a quiet airport.

My first feedback was on your tracking thread. What a wonderful breath of fresh air. Fun to read, some cool stuff about your motivation; it just looked inviting for me. I was about to go to bed, Ben when I saw your thread, I thought “gotta get to know this guy’s controlling’ 😊

And…some great controlling there! 👍🏼
My transition altitude of 5000 feet was too high. With your airport being at sea level, 5000 feet is your airport ceiling. Check out the transition altitude tutorial here.

After I reported inbound, good pattern entry instruction for 10L, with sequence. Awesome!
New sequence instruction after touch and go. Good.

The little,TBM wanted to change to 10R. Remember: first a pattern entry instruction (enter right downwind, runway 10R).

I did like your go-around instruction for me, when we came too close, the runways very very close to each other. A parallel landing would be too risky.

Landing clearance after I reported full-stop. Good.

Runway exit. Good.

Just a tip to avoid giving out speed instructions unless you really see a risk. Don’t use speed instructions for sequencing and seperation. You give out the sequence to each pilot and it’s up to them to maintain seperation. Again, if you see an issue, then a speed instruction can work and will be necessary.

Also, don’t use Ill call your base for sequencing. Avoid it. This instruction is indeed to delay the pilot’s base turn, but is mainly use to enable room for departures to take off.

And remember: you never clear a pilot for number 2 or 3 or etc… without first giving him a sequence instruction.

Send me a DM if you have any questions.
