People following instructions in a timely manner and being respectful and professional always results in fantastic sessions. Simple as that.

For me it’s replicating real life procedures like runway configurations and stars/sids. Might not always be possible if the traffic is high but it’s always heartwarming haha

How about when u clear out a full airport of planes. I like it when I do that at least.

If I had to say the top two things that qualify as a “satisfying moment” for me, it’d be exactly both of these:
I tend to like a difficult configuration since it’s more satisfying that way, such as Aspen, but also when pilots simply follow instructions. Those are the two that really solidify a good session for me at least. :)

There’s no better feeling than acing all your intercepts. Sometimes, my fingers have other plans… 🧱

Personally I think it’s very satisfying to squeeze an aircraft in an approach queue or controlling as initial approach and setting up a beautiful trail of aircraft.

Mine would have to be when the pilots themselves recognize a conflict and I don’t have to tell them anything
