Time Lapse - With and Without Approach! PS... Spread Out!

[Chris_S]

I had the opportunity this afternoon to record a session of ATC where traffic was inbound with approach. Approach logged off and the planes all clumped together. This caused @JoshFly8 to come in sort it out. As you can see some were sent well out of their way just to be able to sort things out.

This is what Joshua saw when he logged in.

Here is the time lapse video which shows it nicely.

And for reference, this is my approach post where I point out the need to spread out as well as other approach items.

You're talking to approach... Now what?

I thought I would continue my “now what?” series. This time we will talk about the approach frequency. The approach frequency makes sure traffic is routed to the destination in an efficient and orderly manner. When the frequency is busy, such as a FNF, this can be a daunting task for the ATC controller. Watch, don’t listen : As Joe has pointed out many times before, when there are 30 planes on the approach frequency there can be a significant delay in when the command is displayed on the scre…

Enjoy!

You stopped just before my runway change as KORD Approach! I had 8 planes within 20nm, and I had to vector them all towards the other side… Crazy.
Cool video though!! Keep making them!

When were you controlling?
There’s a good chance I was controlling KORD at that time.
