Hi,

My ATC practical test showed that I need to work on patterns. So if you are near Manchester on Training and would like to drop by please do.

Airport: EGCC (Manchester)
Runways in use: 23L/23R

I expect I’ll be there for an hour or so.

Hi @powdarrmonkey,

I am Bmoney326/ N299AT. Spot on today! Here’s my feedback:

Positive

  • Good saying already cleared to change freq
  • Good saying after option make left traffic

Negative

  • I think this was a mistake, but don’t tell me to make right downwind, etc, when I am remaining in the pattern (this was done after I was in the air, after you told me to make right traffic). Think it was a mistake as it was only done one time, but lmk

  • Should’ve said back taxi around 70kts, and that goes for exit rwy as well

Apologies for my terrible flying! Felt really dumb when I crashed😬

#5

Yeh, the right downwind was a mistake. What was your speed on the back taxi? My strip said you were doing <60k ground.

Shame about the bouncer, it would have been a spectacular landing if you’d pulled it off!

I meant you should’ve said back taxi when I was at like 70-80kts.

#7

I’ll stop by!

Hey there! You did good just a few mistakes to work on.

  • You didn’t give UM-263 a exit runway command.

  • When Easy 269 said Executing Missed Approach, you were supposed to give him a go around command, not a pattern entry command.

Thanks,
Mason

Mmm, something odd happened there - I didn’t have the usual “Respond to go-around” button nor a go-around menu option (maybe because of altitude?). So that was the next best thing.

Thanks for dropping by and your feedback!

#10

Just click the Go-Around button and issue the GA.

#11

I think you missed the bit where I said there wasn’t a button for it.

#12

Closed! I need a break after two hours. Thanks to everyone who stopped by.

#13

Yeah there shouldn’t be one as he executed missed approach instead of calling a GA.

#14

I’m open again at Manchester with 23L/R in use

#15

Still there? Coming in.

Excellent work! Just a few points from my part:

  • Try to avoid the “expect runway X” when instructing a pushback (as it is said on the ATC manual).
  • Answering a little faster would be great, as there was very little traffic.

That’s it. Well done!

#18

Ah, ok, I’ve been taking “should” more strongly than it is intended perhaps. Thanks for the tip.

Yeah, as there was only a taxiway exit the expect runway was unnecessary.
Well done tho.

I’m open at Brussels with 07L and 07R in use for patterns and general use, please drop by!
