I don’t really have any aspirations to join IFATC, but I am wanting to provide some controlling services. Come fly some patterns in a GA aircraft at North Las Vegas Airport!
Just left. I was ExecJet 901. Just a tip on pattern work. On my initial takeoff you cleared me for left traffic, but didn’t provide further instructions. I believe you should have then instructed me which runway, how to enter the pattern, and what number I was cleared for.
When someone requests takeoff with intentions to remain in the pattern, you clear them for takeoff accompanied with a certain direction (i.e. left/right). After they’ve reached a suitable position in the pattern, you then give them a sequence (if applicable) and then a clearance.
No pattern entry will be necessary, as you’ve already included that in their takeoff clearance (that was the “make left/right traffic” part.
