- The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) oversees the enormously complex Air Traffic Control system in the United States. Thanks to the FAA, this video goes behind the scenes at Air Traffic Control to places never before seen by a TH-cam Channel in order to understand How Air Traffic Control works!
The airspace around the busiest airport in the world seemed like a good place to explore How Air Traffic Control Works, so that’s exactly where we went: Atlanta, Georgia. There, like most of the rest of the world, Air Traffic Controllers manage the airspace.
As important as an Air Traffic Control Tower is, there’s a lot more to How Air Traffic Control Works than just that. In this video, we’ll explore the whole system in order to understand how Air Traffic Control Works.
Special Thanks to the FAA, particularly Kathleen Bergen, Torrance Branch, Kenny Smith, and so many others. This was an incredible opportunity to see How Air Traffic Control Works.

YES!!! Please return for a deeper dive! This video is officially my favorite video on your channel!!
Deeper please
Jeb Brooks this might seem weird but can u do a compilation of all the reviews u have on ur headphone reviews on airlines? It really interests me a lot for some reason
Eben Cole yes PDX.
Eben Cole wow, I didn’t know that. I live only about 15 minutes from the airport so on certain roads I drive I see airplanes pretty low.
@@GreenerGrass Standing by! KGSO is my home airport, as well! Great video!
Air traffic control is easy in Pyongyang, one flight a day!
bruh
Kim Jong-un that’s why my country’s better
😂
Lmfaooo
Ah Kim... u got all the funnies 🤘
I’m an air traffic controller at NY Tracon. Thanks for making this video to educate the flying public. I hope you do more atc videos!

Scott stupidity
Lonnie Johnson I honestly can’t remember the hiring test it’s been a while. From what I remember there isn’t really a way to prepare
I am a general aviation pilot, and thank you for all you do for us
Philip Sarcone Jr....Thanks for keeping our skies safe!!
11:34 minutes of this was not nearly enough. Can’t wait until you go back. On another note, I am amazed at the quality of your work. It seems like a full on production team. Bravo. 👏🏽
No cap but the dude called Tennessee South Virgina at 3:19
I caught that too but I think he was referring to the southern portion of the state of Virginia and not South Virginia.
@@finaldraft151 but he pointed right at Tennessee!
@@finaldraft151 : Yeah, that is how the radar map is read.
@@geraldboykin6159 please let us believe he thinks Tennessee is called South Virginia
@@krakenmetzger : OK!
5:33 Can we just take a minute to applaud the timing with this landing and take off.
Dig deeper, please! I've always heard that this was one of the most stressful jobs one could have. Most never think twice...thank you to all who make flying as safe as it is today. These guys a real pro's and need more recognition.
Thumbs up! Thanks to EVERYONE who made this possible as well as all ATCs everywhere. My Father was an ATC with the National Guard way back in the 1950s - 1960s and told me how stressful this profession can be. Sadly, he passed away 23 years ago. RIP, Dad.
✈️⭐️✈️-I’d like to see a more detailed video if possible. Thanks again!
The folks working air traffic control are truly working with orchestrated chaos. I respect each and every person involved in the ATC chain and appreciate their dedication and focus. Thank you for keeping us all safe!
You should also do a video on Airline Flight Dispatchers. Back in the day, when I was in sales, I got a tour of Jet Blue's flight Dispatch floor in their Queens HQ, and sat with a Dispatcher, and he showed me what he did. Really interesting. They're communicating with the pilots all the time, along with ATC.
I’m an Air Traffic Controller in Nigeria. Maybe you should come down here and see how we do a less sophisticated but more stressful type of control. It’s called Procedural control. I like to call blind control, where we have nothing but our pen and paper strips and keep a mental picture of traffic based on positive position reports from the pilots.
We call that Non-Radar Control
BearBag cool
Wow you have an interesting job... i envy you I am from nigeria.. i just discovered I enjoy listening to tower controllers giving directions to pilots to land or take off with aviation phrases...do you have female controllers in nigeria too?
Taiwo Akinlolu Thanks a lot. Ofcourse we do have female controllers in Nigeria.
I so wish I discovered this job earlier in my young life ..it is too late for me to be part of your dream job ... 😩
There are surveys about which is the most trusted profession. This one should be at the top.
Huge respect to ATC from all positions for keeping us safe in the skies!
To my knowledge, there are no videos like this on TH-cam regarding the US ATC system. Would love to dig deeper into each position and actually see them working!
Person of interest right here.
Yes please do dig deeper
Jeb, I went to Aviation High School in New York City and my teachers used to try and explain this process. In 10 minutes, you condensed the 4 years they tried to explain this to us. Thank you!
My Dad was an ATC at Memphis from 1960-1977 when he retired. I remember as a child being able to go to work with him when he worked midnight to 8 am shift. It was a fascinating experience to say the least. An extremely stressful job that so many people have no clue what all goes on. This was a nice peek into it but the profession deserves so much more of a deeper look. Would love to see more videos explaining each position in detail. And also hello from a fellow Triad resident!!
MIDs is the easier shift until the push which starts around 5-6am
Hi Jeb! Amazed with the access you have been able to achieve, from Delta CEO to ATL Tower. I love how you introduce speakers with modesty and humbleness. You are a great ambassador for Delta and the FAA.
As a person who works in the airline biz I am very jealous you were able to view the tower especially in atl!!!
"No cameras allowed"
"I don't think you know who I am...."
Nah, Jeb's way too nice to play that card! Amazing vid!
I can't believe they allowed him to take pics and vids. I'd love to try to get a tour of a ATC tower or a railroad dispatcher facility or yard tower, but I bet it's really hard to get one.
Im a controller at Albuquerque center and im happy to see videos like this. Keep these kind of videos coming!
How much schooling/training did you have to do?
Jeb, this has to be your best vid to date! By all means a deeper report is welcomed and will be appreciated.
Thanks for all you do!
Jeb what an AMAZING VIDEO!! YES please do more videos at ATC digging deeper and more comprehensive. Big shouts to that controller who watches your videos (how cool is that!) and invited you up and of course to you for this awesome video!! Keep it up for all of your fans sir!! ATC rules and so does Jeb!
I've been waiting for so long since this video. Awesome!
I'm currently a high school senior wishing to earn a B.S. in Air Traffic Management at Embry-Riddle. This video increases my excitement for the profession!
Man, the most highly trained, qualified, competent, and proficient people in the country who keep millions and millions of people safe every year, all whittled down to an 11 minute vid. These people are second only to the two guys (gals) up front in the jet who keep the pointy end forward. Good stuff.
My Dad used to work at ATL TRACON/Tower Mixed back in 2004, just 2 yrs before I was born. He now workes at NORCAL TRACON. I hope I can become a Controller at DEN Tower soon!!!!!! 👍🏻😁😎
one of the most difficult and stressful jobs.Great video Jeb
Yesssss! Great video! Love the backstage access! Love to see more about ATC especially in ATL.
In my younger years, I worked in the E Tower, ground controller, for ramps 4 & 5, before concourse F was built.
I'd love for people to be able to see the choreography that happens in the ground control tower... communicating with both inbound & outbound traffic on those two ramps!
Thanks for another great video Jeb! 👍👍👍
I’m so amazed and THRILLED that you got access to the tower! I’m so happy for you and thank you for doing this video! By far, it’s been my favorite so far!
Awesome vid. Just to clarify the sequence a bit --
Ground - handles pushback from the gate and taxi to the runway.
Tower - gives permission to enter the runway and clearance to takeoff.
Departure (TRACON) - handles the aircraft as it climbs away from the airport.
Center - handles the aircraft at high altitude as it cruises towards its destination.
Approach (TRACON) - handles the aircraft as it descends towards its destination.
Tower - handles the aircraft in the landing pattern and gives permission to land.
Ground - directs the aircraft from the runway to the gate.
Sounds complex. Is complex. But works very well most of the time.
Yes, dig in more!! These are fantastic and so informative. Thanks for sharing!
Pushing Tin was my best job....thanks for showing others this important job. When I started in 1982 I was introduced to NYC and the common IFR room....if you want to see complex airspace sit JFK sector or the tower where there is a corridor off the departure end.....
Yes! JFK controllers are great!
Your content keeps on getting better and better, this is what I'm here for!
Retired RN here whose secret love is Aviation! Would love to see more on this!❤️
Incredible video, Jeb! Thank you so much - what a treat!!!
Jeb - Excellent video as always. You are one of two TH-camrs that I have my notifications on for, because your videos are to the point, entertaining, and well-made. Thank you for allowing me to live vicariously through your travels!
Jeb, I’ve missed you!! 😭😭😭
Your videos are so soothing
Oh yes absolutely go back for a deeper dive into it! We are so thankful to the FAA for them letting you in so we can see the important job these Men and women do for us so we can go on our vacations and do our business day to day! Thank you Torrance and Brian I think it was the little guy that sent the invitation to you to come! They do such an unbelievable job at Atlanta Airport! I have flown in and out a few times over the last few years! I just now saw this video!
More for sure. It is the guts of our aviation. I love this stuff. My girlfriend just retired from ATC in LA. She said it was crazy busy. She loved her job.
Yes! Show us more! You are amazing in what stuff you put into your videos!!
Hi, Jeb, I'm a relatively busy flyer myself (about half time I'm on the road and in the air) and I love knowing about how ATC works. I'd love to know about it in more depth. I'd also love to know more about airport operations (how does ATL or any other major airport work behind the scenes) or airline ops (or as much as they're willing to tell).
Gerard Palmeri hey you should try vasavation you tube channel he does an amazing job detailing how different Airports work around the world
Gerard, there is a TH-cam vid series about London Heathrow behind the scenes. I watched one episode and it's ws very interesting, check it out
I am fascinated by ATC and always wanted to understand the concepts. I have become an aviation geek thanks to your videos... Keep up the great work Jeb. 👍
Amazing teams who keep people safe
Great video! My late uncle was at at Tucson international airport ..
wow - what an incredible opportunity to go behind the scenes - very jealous!! That view was incredible - could look at that all day. well done on yet another sensational video mate.
Thanks for that.
An amazingly complex operation that you simplified so that I understood the basics.
Well done.
Yes, more videos like this! ATC and aircraft operations are very interesting. Thank you Jeb
Great educational video, my hats off to all ATC's for enduring what can be a very stressful job and keeping us all safe during our air travels.
Hi Jeb, this was really helpful, when i grow up i do wanna be an air traffic controllers
Incredible...Thank you for sharing. Kudos to the dedicate ATC Staff for keeping us all safe!
Great video mate! I even spotted my Spirit jet taxiing ;). Andy
WOW ! What a view from the tower , they ALL do an incredible job.
Hi Jeb, I fly for Delta and found your video incredibly cool! Thanks for what you do and of course for your patronage to Delta in Atlanta!
It’s not all the time the average person gets to see the ins and outs of the complex ATC system. So, thank you for this video and, please, keep them coming.
Great video!! More PLEASE. Air traffic control very cool stuff!!
Always enjoy the inflight and interviews, but i could watch the footage from the tower for an hour. Great, great video. Cheers!
Nice! I went through ATC school in the Air Force. Was good in the tower but not so good in RAPCON. Ended up retraining into airfield management which I really enjoyed doing.
Jeb , you were destined to do what your doing! Thank you for the amazing videos.
I've been waiting for a video like this!!!!!!!!!! : )
This video and your interview with Delta's CEO are your two best videos. Great job!!!
Thanks for this informative video Jeb:) I really like your channel and what you’re doing!! As a student pilot I greatly appreciate what the ATC people do and would definitely love to know more:)
I've been to Atlanta, I can see why it's the world's busiest airport. Nice tower
Thank you for sharing this! Im a relatively new and nervous flyer and it is comforting and mind boggling to get a tiny glimpse into what goes on on our flights and airports. I first found your channel when you flew from Boston to San Francisco and your pilots and new plane had a flaps issue before landing. Have subscribed and will be perusing your channel. Many thanks 😊
Thanks Jeb, that was really a great look at what really goes on in Atlanta.
Wow!! Awesome!! I LOVE this!! Thank you for this video! ATL is my home airport! ❤️❤️✈️ and yes, please dig deeper!!
YES!!! Please return for a deeper dive into Air Traffic Control! IM trying to get my Grandson who just started College to explore this career. I sent him the video.
Fantastic video! I love videos like this that give an insight into how the industry works! And that has to be one of the best planespotting spots in the world!
Awesome Vid! Definitely want more from ATC. I think this is a great way to show the world "How It All Works" and tone down the astigmatism and fears of Flying!
Nice perspective into a very important and unappreciated group of people. Thank you!
Please upload more than once a week! Your videos are so interesting I have to watch the same videos over and over!
Awesome video Jeb. Love the direction your channel is going!
Yes deeper dive! Awesome video by the way, so incredibly interesting and what magnificent views!!
Yes! More indepth videos! This is awesome, thanks
This was just a fantastic video,sir...
Greetings from Oslo,Norway
Awesome video brother!! I almost became an air traffic controller when I was in the Air Force and that’s one of my biggest regrets in life was not following that path but I did well anyways and enjoyed the path I did take.
I’m about 20 miles east of Greensboro just south of Burlington. It’s great to see a neighbor with a fantastic channel!!! Keep up the good work brother!!
Thanks so much, Jeb!!
Really enjoyed this.
I've flown to and through Atlanta many times
Ive even been known to stay a day or two extra just to watch the airplanes from the hotel balcony
Would totally love to see more!!
Just caught your video. Good overview of ATC. Really great to see Brian Kellerman again. I worked with him when he left the USAF at KFOK over 20 years ago. I am still in ATC working in the Federal Contract Program. Let me know if you would like to know more about this part of the ATC as the program runs over 300 control towers in the USA including Hawaii, Guam, the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. We are a huge part of the National Airspace System. Tell Brian I said hi and hope to hear more soon.
Another A+ video Jeb, more ATC info would be great !
Hey Jeb this was awesome! As someone who has been around aviation for a long time both in the Air Force, private and airline sector thanks for these videos...just subbed!!
YES, please do more behind the scenes items!!!!!!
Would like to see more on this. Awesome job LOVE this stuff
What a fantastic view of the airport!!
Thank you for this video sharing! It's fascinating and major mind blowing!!
Yes!!!! this video was amazing! I would love to learn more.
I fly into Atlanta all the time love the FAA clearance and insight ... I’ve gotten clearance at JFK and man it’s a sight to be seen
As a former Controller at Washington ARTCC, I enjoyed giving tours when folks would come in wondering what our building was and what we did. You have provided an incredibly simplified version of the process, but since each piece can be very complicated and detailed, most folks just want the very basic understanding that the Center Manager offered. I often got detailed in my explanations and watched the eyes glaze over. You've provided a great insight to a very complicated system that the public no longer is free to see as it was when I was working The public is often comforted in knowing that the airplane does not move from the gate until a controller authorizes it. And, that plane is being given direction for everything it does until it is authorized to head toward it's gate after landing. The pilot is ultimately responsible for safety, but the controller is exerting positive control over the planes every movement. Good job in your brief overview. Very nicely done.
Great video and big Thanks to the FAA for the access
Great video. I LOVE this airport! It is fascinating.. I once had about a 5 hour layover. I visited all the terminals. Really cool.
Awesome video! Extremely fascinating!!
your absolute best video of all time. Awesome behind the scenes and access of the best but perhaps most stressful job in the world. If I could go back in time to when I was 22, I would definitely have tried to be an ATC
*Yes ! Yaas ,,, Yes ! MOre Act aka Air Traffic Control videos. Love them B-roll*
Thanks for giving us a tour of KATL and how ATC works really enjoyed it
Another awesome video! I remember touring Oakland Center in Fremont back in 89. All the controllers were very professional with explaining the various aspects of their job. ARTCC’s are very interesting places.
Funny that this video was recommended for me just an hour after I took a tour of an Air Force Base tower haha. Great video, I'm really hoping to someday be an FAA controller in a major airport's tower!
The music climaxing on a CRJ was kinda hilarious. Cool video for a place I travel through almost every week
Definitely, dive deeper; thanks for this great video!
Great, great, great, fascinating video... Blessings to air traffic controllers...
Yes. Well done. The practiced miracle of flight.
Thank God for their training and commitment. Strong work !
I really really like this video I’ve flown through Atlanta many many times and yes I agree it’s really an awesome busy airport and I have a stepfather that was in an airline pilot for Eastern Airlines retired and I worked for the limo now the Supershuttal as a Airporta supervisor many years ago and I loved it thank you for this series that you’re going into. Have a great day!
amazing video Jeb!!! i loved it
