Phog ifatc

Hello today at PHOG the IFATC was bad , so I requested to takeoff remaining in the pattern and he said cleared for takeoff the I took off and he said contact the departure and that’s a mistake , then I got the clearance to land and I was on short final and he let someone to line up and I go around and I’m sure that he know then he said to me again contact departure, then he didn’t give me clearance to land so I reported my position then I was on final and he didn’t still give me the clearance and I said twice I’m in final so I should report my positions because I didn’t get clearance to land and he said ( avoid sending duplicate messages )
His username was : DDett
Thanks

Hey!

Shoot a message to your controller. Your controller is @DDett.

He can help explain your situation.

Thanks will do

They may of done a radar pattern if you said you came back around and landed. A radar pattern is being vectored around the airport traffic pattern.

Then wouldn’t you say contact approach? Or no

The controller probably had a plan but if I were them I’d hand it to approach as well if it was active.

Did NOTAMS say no traffic pattern work?

They wouldn’t be able to request remaining in the pattern if so.

I meant the controller. He should have said contact approach if anything, not departure.

Folks the controller has been tagged and the OP said he will reach out to the controller. Nothing else needs to be said here unless the OP has any more questions.
