I worked 32 years as an Air Traffic Control Specialist. This is the sorriest excuse for a depiction of a Control Tower as I've ever seen. The only similarity to the real thing is that there were some airplanes flying around. Controllers are under a lot of stress to keep things moving on schedule but THEY DON'T PLAY RUSSIAN ROULETTE!
Know the rules. Apply them to your benefit! Develop a plan to move your traffic and stick to it. Don't get half way through a movement then try to start changing things. (that's provided of course nothing is unsafe) If your plan isn't the most efficient then do it differently next time. The biggest piece of advice I can tell you is this: NEVER EXPECT ANYBODY TO DO ANYTHING RIGHT! That way you'll never be caught standing on your heels and the only surprises you'll have are pleasant ones. Good luck and Keep Em Flying!
This is obviously a piece of theater. There have indeed been events of near collision at airports but this video is just a contrived drama. This is not realistic.
As a pilot, I understand the phonic alphabet. My WTF is because this is NOT how a control tower is run. They would NEVER have intersecting runways active AT THE SAME TIME. And that is just the most ridiculous part of this dumb video that purports to show "what really happens" in a control tower.
@@realspacemodels I am an air traffic controller and work at an airport that has intersecting runways that we use daily at the same time. However, there are rules for intersecting runway operations. I am not going in to detail but I fail to see the logic or validity of your statement saying that they "never have intersecting runways active at the same time." It is a completely false statement.
The pilot in command always has the ultimate authority for the safe operation of the aircraft, not ATC. In this movie the landing pilot would never have asked if he still had permission to land. Assuming he was visual with the traffic taking off on the perpendicular runway and he considered it a risk he would have executed a go around regardless of ATC’s instructions.
flyingweka: " The pilot in command always has the ultimate authority" (well put) The closer to an airport you are the more dangerous it gets. Controllers are out to kill you. That`s how I always flew to keep vigilant. Don`t get me wrong, there are some good controllers out there, but never depend on them. Everybody should land at OSH a few times, during the fly-in. It`s unreal flying that close to apposing airplanes.
Absolutely, while flying in controlled airspace Pilots are required to obey ATC instructions. The exception is during an emergency. If an ATC instruction is going to kill you and your passengers you’re allowed to disregard it. There is quite a famous incident at JFK where the landing pilot was unable to accept ATC instructions and declared an emergency. th-cam.com/video/-sQuHnrJu1I/w-d-xo.html
Controllers are not out to kill anyone. This is the wrong mindset. In the case of this video it is a very damning video. There is no self respecting controller that would ever do anything like this intentionally The pilot seeing the mistake and bringing it to the attention of the controller, should have made the decision to go around even if the controller insisted he land. A pilot can disobey a control instruction if they deem it necessary for the safety of the flight. The term "unable" is used to inform the controller that the instruction cannot be accepted. It is then up to the controller to formulate a different action to attain the same goal (safe, orderly, and expeditious flow of traffic through the NAS). At least it is this way in America; which as the safest air traffic systems in the world. As a controller, it is sometimes frustrating when a pilot is unable to accomplish a task but we typically try to work with the pilot to make them feel comfortable with this instruction. The controller can file a report for a possible pilot deviation but is not involved in the issuance of said citation. It is report then send to a different office. Again, I am not out to get a pilot killed. We controller have a tremendous responsibility. There are thousands of lives and billions of dollars that travel through the skyscrapers every hour of every day. There is a phrase that I think fits the point I am trying to make. "Trust but verify." Trust the controller that he/she will do their job to the best of their ability, but be vigilant and have good situational awareness. TCAS is one tool the helps pilots. It provides a cushion because mistakes do happen. It is human nature and nobody is perfect
No..you're wrong. Landing and takeoffs instructions are responsibilities of an ATC personnel. Whether to follow or not is at pilot's discretion. ATC can also issue mandatory instructions duecto safety reasons
Obviously a movie. An ATC tower crew with an operation that loose would be terminated then prosecuted. The take off/landing sequence at 3:15 violates too many regs to list here.
No idea. It appears to be two splices from different sources. First is military then it switches to a supposed civilian tower. The military clearance delivery is correct but the civilian part is nowhere near reality. You might ask the originator, "All Geeks TV", where he got the scenes.
Was that's the most ridiculous movie ever. None of those situations would be allowed to occur and if they did, every controller involved would be out of a job. There's this thing called "minimum separation." The FAA is quite picky about it. P.S. The controller phraseology was not even close.
On the runway, yes. If a plane is still on the runway, minimum separation must be applied to aircraft landing behind it, on a parallel or intersecting runway, etc. Note that there are techniques a controller can use to pass responsibility onto the pilot and remove the minimum separation requirement, such as confirming if one airplane has the other in sight and then directing the following aircraft to "maintain visual separation." Once planes enter the taxiways, I'm not aware of a minimum separation required for the ground controller - they just endeavor to keep them apart and will frequently just ask them to follow each other, again putting the pilot in charge of assuring he doesn't run into the aircraft he's following.
Easy there Tiger. We all get it. No Controller would ever be so cavalier. There's no need for YT to pull the video. Yes it's offensively theatrical but we're all grown ups. We see that it's rubbish.
Jim Brown Don't think so. More than likely its due to utube being lax in doing their job or moderator has no knowledge of proper procedures. Utube has to be more responsible this type of thing could have dangerous repercussions.
This is WAY off, and alarming that anything like this would even be depicted this way. If I ever thought that controllers were acting in such a cavalier way, I'd make it my mission to be sure they all lost their jobs. Making a movie is fine, but this is so far away from any acceptable reality that it's just bad.
So, you think that ATC should be run the way it was depicted here? And yes, if I ever witnessed this, I would intervene and do everything possible to have them all terminated, in the interest of keeping people alive. If you think that's funny, then so be it, but that's bizarre.
Mike, I appreciate your 'need' to have controllers such as these 'terminated', but in the real world, this would never happen anyway. Oh, I'm an air traffic controller by the way - this is just laughable rubbish what you have seen in the footage - it just doesn't happen this way, but those members of the public who are ignorant to procedures, get caught up in the dramatisation of the whole thing and start thinking 'this' and 'that'. But good on you for thinking you would undertake a 'mission' to make sure 'they all lost their jobs', lol. If any of this rubbish was actually going on at my work place, we'd be filing incidents for sure, with the controllers responsible being 'stood down' pending investigation. We are actually very good at policing our own wrongdoings, because that's what 'professionals' do.
A retired friend worked Burbank airport. He reported going down spiral stairs to bathroom with corded headset talking planes in by memory (radar screen remained in tower for some reason) because they were short staffed and no breaks. Burbank has pretty steep approach due to hills adding to stress.
Having listened to many ATC recordings (Kennedy Steve Abrams, we miss you!) I know that airliners are never addressed by initials as there could be confusion. It’s always “United”, “JetBlue”, “Speedbird” (for British Airways), never UA, JB etc. If you want to depict an ATC you should use the lingo.
As a real Air Traffic Controller that was one of the worst videos I've ever watched. In no way is that even close to being accurate, from the phraseology he used to the rules that were being shattered. The things he was saying didn't make any sense at all! Telling aircraft to "Line up and wait" and clearing them for takeoff in the same transmission. Those are two entirely different instructions in which he said both incorrectly. 🤣 That was absolutely brutal to watch.
There have been some great ATC callsigns that aren't necessarily the airline names: Aer Lingus = Shamrock British Airways = Speedbird Pan Am = Clipper South African = Springbok Falcon Air Express = Panther
All of the comments about this nonsense is spot on. As a former JFK tower controller I would like to add a few comments of my own. First it is obvious to most that this was shot in a movie set. The Windows don't even go all the way around the tower cab. This movie set bears absolutely no resemblance to the real JFK tower, or any tower anywhere. From the lead in, it is obvious that the film maker is completely un aware of the existence of en route centers, and terminal radar approach control facilities where the majority of the 15,000 dedicated air traffic controllers in the US work. Just as well. If the filmmaker is going to make videos about a subject matter they know nothing about, they should try knitting. ,
ATC job is boring probably 80% of the job is done by computers these days, this brings some action to it highlighting the importance and risks involved
this clip instead of showing the high professionalism of ATC did exactly the opposite and showed how cavaleering the ATC was, I hope it is not this way in real life.
Wow. Fake, fake, fake. Not even filmed in a bad tower simulator much less a real tower. Nothin, and I mean nothing other then some stock footage IS REAL. And the he CGI is laughable at best.
I'm a pilot..and im very concerned with the message this garbage is sending out to young people thinking (dreaming) of working in ATC. this is wrong on so many levels I don't know where to start. It insults the fine men and women that move the metal around. This is just wrong.
Oh yeah totally because that’s how Air Traffic Control works. Let me just run two perpendicular runways that intersect at the same time that close together.
It's VERY unlikely, that a member of the public will be granted permission to visit a busy international control tower. A small regional airport may allow it.
Sailor Man Yes sometimes it may be unlikely however, all it takes in Texas is a simple phone call and you schedule a time with them. In the past 2 years I have toured 3 Towers, 2 TRACON’s and one ARTCC.
You think passengers on those reality airline shows are angry when their flights get delayed or canceled. Boy oh boy you give them a front row seat to a close call like that where their life flashes before their eyes and they soil their underwear... that is a recipe for them rushing for the tower after they enter the terminal and trying to gain access to the tower via an axe to the secure door in an effort to wanting to murder the guy responsible. All runways would be closed. The state police swat team would be called in. And in the end, the air traffic controllers would be burying one of their own. Later, the jury will find all the defendants not guilty.
That is DEFINITELY what goes on people's minds when I tell them that I am an air traffic controller. It's definitely what they think I do, so not real though!
This looks more like a movie about ATC. They look much too pretty to be real controllers. No way that near miss would have been allowed to get that close.
I would think that safety would be paramount. Airlines would lose a hell of alot more money if they lost a plane versus one being diverted due to improper scheduling.
Actually its always the Captains last decision to land or not. The way everything is presented here is dangerous. Your building a pic to people completely wrong. On the other hand, thanx for confirming that once in the cockpit, everything outside is a thread.
That must be stressful having a very responsible job like that one mistake your'e liable for the lives of everybody on every plane and could face serious consequences no margin for error to be a traffic controller.
One thing I noticed right away was the makers of this video used the wrong clock in the tower. It should have been a twenty-four hour clock or a digital clock that showed the time as 14:22 not 2:22. I know this is but one if many errors!
Really? So you never told aircraft clear to land, traffic will be taken off and will be no factor by the time you land? While obviously this movie make it dramatic, planes do land and take off while another plane is coming in to landing.
Two planes crossed each other in a dangerous way.ATC should be careful for giving permission for landing and taking off the planes on their airport. Engr. Nabi Bakhsh

Air traffic controllers and pilots NEVER refer to runways as twenty-two or thirty-one. They would've said runway two-two or runway three-one.

Not "inside Air Traffic Control." Inside somebody's imagination--no similarity to reality.

Everything said so far is correct. I just hate the verbiage being used and how he was talking into a phone.
Correct. It's not real and that's not how's its done.
Ok so the pilots dont need clearence to go around, if they knew that other aircraft was so close, real pilots would call it and go around

that's true . They can't carry stress with them and have to make mind free and full concerntrate .
What's there to punch when the thrust levers should of been in the TO/GA position?
4:42 preparing for landing... puts TOGA. LOL
One thing I noticed right away was the makers of this video used the wrong clock in the tower. It should have been a twenty-four hour clock or a digital clock that showed the time as 14:22 not 2:22. I know this is but one if many errors!
Air traffic controllers don’t play Russian rulet with the planes🤦♂️🤦♂️
I don't think people can even imagine like that about ATC.
That guy wo is on final should just go around because
You can always go around.
I didn't realize "punch it" was approved 7110.65 phraseology. Shows what I know
Bet the Air Force wouldn’t do that.
I'll be damned there is dame working the tower! I'll just be damned!
🤣
You're not likely to get any closer to death than this. Good graphics!
That Guy Is Smart In ATC Tower Landing And Takeoff
I have 32 years ATC experience. This is typical Hollywood bs.
Really? So you never told aircraft clear to land, traffic will be taken off and will be no factor by the time you land? While obviously this movie make it dramatic, planes do land and take off while another plane is coming in to landing.

Yes really. I could write an essay on all the errors and misleading bs that this video throws at you. Pure Hollywood hype.
Two planes crossed each other in a dangerous way.ATC should be careful for giving permission for landing and taking off the planes on their airport. Engr. Nabi Bakhsh
