Checklist: ATC to the rescue
signing oFF your sTudenT for their

first solo cross-country flight can be a tough decision to make. Is your student ready? Are you? When things don’t go smoothly it’s nice to have a guardian angel in the form of ATC by your side. Listen to this audio exchange between a Delta State University student pilot and Lake Charles Regional (LCH) Airport air traffic controller John Charlton on September 23, 2008, to understand the positive impact this controller had on the anxious solo student (http://media.natca.org/conferences/ archieawards/2009/audio/southwestregion.mp3). Charlton watched the student make two unsuccessful landing attempts. Realizing the pilot was getting flustered,

finally, after a total of four unsuccessful attempts, tHe aircraft and its rattled student pilot toucHed down successfully.
Charlton patiently coached her around the pattern offering advice for a third attempt that proved unsuccessful. After he alerted crash and rescue as a precaution for this risky predicament, he calmly talked the pilot through cross wind correction and keeping proper airspeed. Finally, after a total of four unsuccessful attempts, the aircraft and its rattled student pilot touched down successfully. Charlton received the coveted NATCA Archie League Medal of Safety Award for his assist. —Machteld Smith
