I’ve applied for IFATC and passed the written practical and now I’m looking to improve on handling pattern work mostly anlthough anything else is also appreciated.
I’ll mainly try and do this around 1900Z on weekdays so let me know if you would to be added to the ping list.

No sequencing when doing pattern work, the correct way is: “ OM-NFR, number 2, traffic to follow is on left downwind” (using the scenario to follow B-LSA). Is it only being implemented when I’m not number 1, if yes, then the clearance would have been enough.
The make left/right traffic in clearance is only used during takeoff clearance when requested pw, inbound traffic and after RWY change. You don’t have to put it in every flown pattern.
I had to request a Go Around on my own when the Norwegian has lined up on a RWY on his own. When you see that the space between traffic will be very tight, don’t hesitate put a go around sequence.
Other than that it was a good session, keep practicing and you’ll be progressing.
Thanks for that - I hadn’t realised how quickly that norweigian had taxied and then only saw when it was too late. Luckily they respawned and did exactly the same thing so I could issue the go around that time to B-LSA!
no need to give “extend downwind” as there is no way I’m able to turn in front of him at that point. Actually you should have given him a straight out departure as he turned into me there.
Apart from that, it was perfect! Sorry that could not stay for longer and thanks for the session.
