Just need a little help

[Taco]

So my goal right now is to become a decent Tower ATC. For the most part i have the basics down, like lining them up and waiting, immediate/expedite request, handling SOME (not all) inbounds.

I just need tips to improve my skills in the Tower ATC when things get hectic, like receiving 4-5 inbounds within 10 seconds, how to pattern, squence, etc

And one last thing, can someone explain to me the make left base, ill call your base, etc. I have no idea how to use those commands in the tower.

Thanks for all of you that help!

like lining them up and waiting, immediate/expedite request, handling SOME (not all) inbounds.

Line up and wait means that you have to enter the runway without taking off until ATC instructs you to do so

receiving 4-5 inbounds within 10 seconds, how to pattern, squence, et

For this, if you are working as ATC, you’ll need to press cleare to land or Pattern instructions so the pilots will know what to do:)

Hey Taco,
I suggest if you want to become serious about ATC then get a scout for IFATC. If you don’t want to be to serious then i suggest reading through #tutorials you can find some great ATC stuff there.

Here is a great tutorial. I think this should help you out.

The Art of Sequencing: A Guide to Success

The Art of Sequencing: A Guide to Success (Note: Tower will be handling all this. You can't always have approach to help you out... Time to get your hands dirty if things get busy. ^-^) Sup, guys? Today, we're going to be looking at one of the absolute essentials of controlling- sequencing. Nowadays, sequencing is of absolute vitality in order to maintain order (see what I did there?) in a cacophony of aircraft chaos. Are you ready to find out what sequencing is all about? Good! First …

Here is another good one that will help you with everything.

ATC Tutorial (T&G)

I've created a tutorial explaining how to effectively, efficiently, and correctly control both Ground And Tower stations within Infinite Flight. This is a simple guide, that goes into more detail where and when necesssary, to cover all aspects of IFATC with to-the-point information, providing everything you need to know. This should help TS1/2 controllers, as well as those preparing for IFATC recruitment tests, as this is partially based off of my experiences with both of the latter. Feel free…

I hope that helps

These are the parts of the patterns. Everything is relative to the direction of landing, at 90 degree intervals from runway heading. Left or right is determined by direction of turn you need to make into landing. So, left downwind is shown here. If you would make two right turns from downwind to final, that is right traffic.

Remember, it’s 90 degree intervals. So if runway heading is 090, then left downwind would be heading 270, with the runway to the left of the plane. Right downwind, the opposite.

Many pilots treat downwind as “anywhere within a 60 degree angle”, but it has an exact heading, exactly parallel to landing, but the opposite direction.
