Hey,
I didn’t stay for long because I think you need to work quite a bit on the theory explained in the IFATC manual. You should also look at the tutorial videos attached directly below by link.
FEEDBACK: BAVA370 @ PHLI - 20TH APRIL 2020
- I requested transition after taking off at a nearby airport. You approved me at 3,500 incorrectly. You should have cleared me at 3,000ft since airport elevation is 150ft. Remember, it virtually always is the following: airport elevation (rounded up to the nearest 500ft) + 2,500ft = transition.
- When I informed you I was inbound for touch and go, you gave me no pattern entry. You just cleared me, instantly, for the option at a confusing-to-get-to runway (the runway I was closer to and more lined up for the downwind would’ve been better). Well done for adding a direction to that clearance at least.
- I left after you told someone to exit the runway when they were not only at 140kn but on short final. They were 300ft in the air and being told to exit the runway. Why would you do this?
You need to focus on the theory before jumping into practice. I’ve attached useful resources for this at the top of this thread.
When you do, at the appropriate time, restart training practice (after focusing on theory quite a bit), you should choose a better airport. You should work at an airport with parallel runways like KADW or KSEA. This is where you’ll train best and receive a realistic situation for your IFATC practical exam.
Thanks,
Patrick
