i am open at KTYS
runways : 23R and 23L in use.
pattern work encouraged, departures and arrivals fine as well.
im open for 30 minutes unless I get a lot of traffic! come and bombard me! my practical is in 13 hours so get everyone to hop in if possible!!
Hi @Vulicity, thanks for controlling today. I was N428OP doing a few patterns. A couple comments for you:
You gave me a frequency change from ground to tower after telling me to switch in my taxi clearance. You should use “Duplicate frequency change” when they request that.
Sequencing was good
Clearances were given a little late. Try to get those off right after the sequence.
I wasn’t given a runway exit instruction when I landed. Keep an eye on aircraft cleared for the option so you can issue the exit instruction when they are no longer doing pattern work.
Keep up the practice and you’ll get there!
thank you very much!
hey guys I am open at KFLL please come bombard as my last 2 tracking threads had absolutely nobody! i need to practice sequencing and pattern work.
Sure I will drop by now
1 mistake you cleared me for something I didn’t request anything
coming now!
Another mistake you let a plane land at the wrong runway you said 10L he is landing 10R
Nice controlling. Only issue I had was you cleared me #1 for the option when there was an aircraft on a 6-mile final cleared #2. I was only mid-field and wasn’t able to make it in front of the other aircraft so I should have been resequenced behind the traffic.
overall, i think you did a good job, although there are two things i’d like to point out:
Thank you for the services and good luck on your practical!
(C-XING)
Note that this should only be done after:
a) They’re inbound for touch and go, and this is their first clearance for the option,
b) They’re changing to a different runway with the intent to remain in the pattern, and this is their first clearance for the option on the new runway,
c) You need to switch their direction for whatever reason.
Please avoid instructing a pilot to make left/right traffic on every single clearance. :)
oops, my bad
I’m also learning ATC so my points probably aren’t the most credible haha
thank you for pointing that out :)
Hi, my callsign was G-0801 if you remember.
I am a learner too here. I am still on the road to give IFATC written and practical test. Feedback I will give you may not be 100% correct. Any mods or regulars feel free to correct me. Here is all feedback according to my current knowledge of Ground / Tower ATC
Positives
My stand didn’t require pushback so I requested for taxi and you approved it. Some will make mistake and send pushback approved command automatically.
I asked for frequency change while holding short Rwy 10R and you sent me “already told to change freq”
Pattern Entry, Sequence and Clearance was good after I requested rwy change
After flying 20+ miles away I turned around and was meant to request transition but I accidentally contacted KMIA Tower for transition intead of you at KFLL Tower. When I was 1 mile above KFLL you sent me an ongaurd message and thats when I realised I requested transition to Miami tower instead to you ha. You sent me “Say Intentions” sorry my bad
After exiting the rwy I intentionally was taxing on sandy surface to test your ground vigilance. you sent me “this is not a taxiway”
-Things that could be improved
You forgot to give “Rwy Exit command” to BA001" always keep an eye on planes after they touch down.
You did not need to “call my base” after you told me to follow traffic on left downwind rwy 10L “N428OP” since I already knew who I was following, it was my duty to follow him discreetly. It would make sense to call base if you want to get as many departure planes out as possible.
N4280P was on second pattern and flying left downwind rwy 10L, you cleared him #1 for option. However you cleared me #2 for option previously and I was on final this time. Correct command would have been “#2 traffic to follow is on final” or “#2 runway 10L cleared for option”.
When I announced inbound request after arriving from 20+miles west, you gave me pattern entry which was good but then you told me “#2 traffic to follow is on right base” in this case I was following C-XING and he was on right crosswind leg going to right downwind leg. Correct command would have been “#2 traffic to follow is on right downwind”
Since I left your frequency after your approval for departure to west and returned, I requested “inbound for landing” you did not need to “Clear me for option” You would give “Cleared to land”
I will pop by.
No need for pushback. I could have just taxied right away. When I requested runway change I was turning to right downwind. Could have just kept me there instead of left. Otherwise all is good. Good luck on your practical.
thank you!! I appreciate the feedback :)
I am closed but I will try to open back up sometime before 10:00 est! thank you all!
Tag me the next time your are bound to open
