This is easily the best ATC video I've seen on TH-cam. You could clearly hear everyone. You could read the monitors being shown. Great questions were asked. Great people being interviewed. No unnecessary fluff.
kempo 95 but it didn’t need to talk about that, that much because it wasn’t about that The title was not “how does a control tower work” but yes that video is very informative I would have to agree
I was a controller at a US enroute center that might be equivalent to what she calls area control in Europe. This woman gave an excellent explanation of how the system operates. Very clear and articulate. I used to enjoy giving tours to visitors and hope I was half as good at explaining the job as she is. Nicely done.
@@gggf4766 Waaaay too high. UK starting salary is currently £39,000. With experience, this can rise to around £100,000 at the busiest airports/most demanding roles. £120-30,000 would be about the absolute maximum. I believe it's slightly better pay in the US.
@@mickeybee you’re right close to the figure, according to Business Insider on TH-cam about Atlanta the worlds busiest airport is $145,000 so I’ll assume airports like LDR, AMS, JFK all do at least $100,000 at the minimum in pay.
By far the best view of ATC. Especially the wonderful woman in the radar center who explained things so clearly. Her enthusiasm for ATC, and encouraging people to come into the field was especially nice. The technology in Amsterdam, and the professionalism of the controllers is known worldwide.
The radar control lady's enthusiasm and passion are raw and truly infectious. Thank God we have such committed and competent professionals keeping us safe in the sky. Thank you for this video Sam.
There are no shortcuts in ATC. Years of training. Plus everything is organized and has backups, even amount of planes one ATC will handle every hour is managed.
The Dutch have got to be some of the nicest people I have ever interacted with. I was transferring through Schiphol a few years back and as I was going through security at the gate, I asked the security officer if I had to take my shoes off. He just looked down at my shoes, looked up at me and said “Well that depends. What’s your shoe size?” with the biggest smile I have ever seen on any airport security officer in the world 😂😂 great attitude!
Yeah 100% true. I live in Germany and when i want to smoke weed or just enjoy their nice citys like Hengelo, Groningen, Enschede (hell i LOVE enschede) and so on. thy got Such a nice way to treat strangers
The way she explained is simply amazing. The coversation actually help us to visualize how each level of operations happening behind the scene. Love this video.
As a Dutch person who goes to Schiphol regularly, it's so cool to see what's going on behind the scenes. I see that tower so often from the outside, now after all these years I finally know how it looks like from the inside.
@@fujitofusan not this one. LVNL isn't all that eager to allow visitors inside their facilities unless you have a purpose there as supplier for example. And even as a supplier it can be a pain.
Brilliant, Sam, really enjoyed this report. For we avgeeks, any ATC stuff is fascinating. Schipol enjoys a well deserved reputation of excellence. Great work, thanks.
Thank you. I visited Schiphol in December, a friend of mine works there and asked if I like to visit. I was fascinated with the 360 view and asked the PR department of LVNL if I can make a video of how Dutch ATC work. I am glad they're open and up for it so this vlog happened!
The lady in this video is such an asset and the highlight for me.. She is quite passionate and articulate about the operations at the airport and the tower! Kudos to her and the entire team!

That radar controller broke down the complexity of radar science into little palatable pieces and fed them to us gently, and we absorbed everything so well and that's why we love her❤

Chong Pei Lin I watched almost every single videos from Sam and yes he has some videos where he provided negative feedbacks about that particular flight service etc. Secondly, Sam has a wonderful and warm personality and that separate him from other Aviation Reviewers/TH-camrs but that is just a bonus for him. In his line of work, I can guarantee you that excellent PR skills and knowledge will allow you to tap in to the inner core of this business. And of course NETWORKING IS ABSOLUTELY VITAL. Sam have invested a lot of money to bring us some of these amazing videos. They are not produced for free. Lastly, he has been in this business for the longest time ever before TH-cam. So he knows his art pretty damn well! Thanks
I know for a fact the netherlands need more air traffic controllers. So I do think this is also promotion of the job and what you actually do. Even though good video
Sam, awesome coverage! I'm Dutch living in New Zealand and used to spend a lot of time along the runways listening out and watching every plane and registration. Did you know that Schiphol is the only airport below sea level in the world?? It used to be a lake! Again, great coverage; you make me proud!!
Sam, your clips are getting better and better, and I love the variety of the aviation subjects. Beautiful filming there. And so nice you visited Schiphol Oost as well! Hope Google is rewarding you well, so you can keep this up. Best!
A fascinating behind-the-scenes video Sam, great content. Sat in our seats on ‘planes we really do take it for granted how much work and communication is taking place to keep everything running smoothly. Credit to those who work in this industry, I can’t imagine the skillset and mind required to work such a job. They deserve the high salaries that’s for sure! Keep them coming Mr Chui! :)
I love Amsterdam, it’s a beautiful city! But Schipnol is an incredible airport with some awesome spotting opportunities! I’m incredibly jealous of you getting that opportunity to have a bird’s eye view! That was the most informative piece from the woman in radar. Amazing! Thanks for sharing.
"Affirm" this word fully emphasizes the fact the questioner asked. It is a proper answer for her as a professional Air Traffic Control Staff. Yes= informal agreement, prefered orally answer
Incredibly well done video. The people interviewed are true professionals. It is the people behind the scene, professionals that truly keep everyone safe and they deserve a great deal of respect!
I was one of the few lucky ones who had the chance to visit air traffic control at VOMM here in India a few years ago. It was one of the most interesting trips I have ever been on and really gave me a great appreciation for the people on the ground making sure you have a safe flight.
Thanks! I fly to Amsterdam several times a year from Norway as it is just a short stop away and a major hub to anywhere in the world. Always loved Schipol and I have often looked at the control tower and thought the workload in there must be insane. Thanks for the tour, the controllers seemed really professional and friendly.
It's official, Sam has THE dream job and position, that anyone in the aviation industry would love. He gets access to all types of aviation perks, from the cockpit, to the ground. I swear, it's not even a job at this point, it's a passion that he gets to enjoy and I'm glad he does. I'm pretty sure it's not all sunshine as the videos show, there's got to be a lot of behind the scenes and extensive hard work to be able to show us all the material. Just the politics in aviation alone must be a nightmare, just to even ask for permission to get access to some places. Sam, seriously, I'm glad I've subbed to your channel. You always bring the most interesting aspects of aviation and show the hard work that's put in by everyone, especially, the underappreciated staff. They help make everything run so smoothly, so passengers may be able to have a good flight, let alone be able to fly. I really appreciate the work you put in and keep it up Sam!
Awww I loved this! What an incredible amount of hard work. These people have to be on and alert 100% of the time. Great video and THANK YOU CONTROLLERS!
Very cool video, Sam! My son is atc’er at Rotterdam tower and works also at Schiphol as a approach controller. I’ve been there and, yes, it is a great job they have! Thanks for this video!
Thank you 🙏🏾 so much for this video. It’s great to see what’s going on in the Tower of one of the busiest Airports in the world (one of my favorite too) and for explaining the overall control structure. 🔝!!
You dutch accent sounds better than any other accent in English. I am currently in Australia and there are a lot of Dutch people without any accent. Can't say that about my German fellas... 😅
Nice to see that you at Schiphol and at Maastricht euro control, manage to keep all this traffic separated, save and most of the time on schedule. I just started gaming the best flightsimulator there is, and now I understand ATC much better. And as a Dutch citizen, I'm proud to see how high quality the traffic is handled.
AWESOME video! I’m very proud to say my cousin is an air traffic controller instructor at Schipphol! And I’m so excited I’ll be seeing her this coming May! And cannot wait to see your review of the now flying 777X!
Excellent orientation from this lady. I used to give tours at our Enroute Control Center (USA) when people would show up at our front gate and ask what we did because I enjoyed explaining to folks something they never knew. We weren’t near the airport so folks didn’t know who/what we were or what we did. I never said I spoke to airplanes. I just said I talked to those dots and the dots talked back. Utterly fascinating job.
As an ex-ATC'er, I can honestly say that you will be entering a highly stressed BUT absolutely exhilarating walk through your work life that no-one can actually explain and never take take away from you. Pushing tin is AWESOME.
Incredible, as i was almost landing at Schipol, these guys had their eyes on my life and the lives of the 300 people on the plane with me, and now i get to actualy see them!
I used to live about 3 miles from 27 (Uilenstede) and the noise was unbelievable but it was a great experience sitting on the patio and watching all the flights come in on a windy day. I could almost wave to the pilots!
I am so incredibly grateful for the absolute gold information in this video. I’ve been watching a LOT of aviation videos recently and there was always an information ‘gap’ of how things are handled on the ATC side of things. Thank you for clearing this all up for me!
This is real pressure. Forget Trading Forex or hedge funds or anything in Finance or coding under prssure in Tech. These guys get it wrong people die. Its that simple. Amazing, even with the technology its incredible. ATC is special. How did they do it in the 50s, 60s. 70s without the technology I wonder. Glad they have it today but what a life. Respect. Thanks Sam for showing this.
What an interesting video! So clearly explained, especially the radar controller! I've never watched such a thorough video & was shocked to see the radar room...I am one of "those people" who just assumed it was the tower doing all the ATC...What a job they have, I know I couldn't do it, well done all you ATC's out there!! I was at Schipol in January last year, awesome airport & huge!! I live near CWL & love watching the planes ascend/descend into it. Especially the big one's 777 & 747's going in for repair/upgrade! Such a small airport compared to AMS though! Thank you Sam..
Great work. Very informative. The number of hand offs involved in a flight is amazing. Wow! All that done so seamlessly, through so many different organizations, allowing us all to arrive safely at our destinations. Keep up the good work Sam.
Excellent video, very informative. Thanks to you and the ATC guys for making this so simple and easy to understand for people like me who are not associated with the aviation industry but curious to know about Air planes and related stuff. THANKS A TON !!
Hat's off to the various staff / controllers..for doing what they do...looks easy on the screen..but is far from that...the rigorous training and tests that they have to pass..not to mention ..the nerves of steel that probably each of them possess is admirable... thanks so much for giving us a close up look into this wonderful and most crucial area of aviation..
Thank you the people work really hard to get the plane to the runway and from the runway to the terminal. The air traffic control work really hard. The radar operators are also really busy since in the dutch air space is very busy.
You learn something new everyday, i didn't know it was that well organized with all of intergrated controllers handing off the planes to different controllers. Very interesting.
@@hatinmustika4499 :) interestingly pilots are also affected, but not to the same extent. Nevertheless, I have been to an airport hotel, where the conference rooms are named after the phonetic alphabet, so I also made the "mistake" to say at the reception "room 309" with tri-zero-niner :D it was a bit embarrassing, but the receptionist didn't even blink. meetings.accor.com/hotel/0527/index.en.shtml#section-rooms-events
Living in the netherlands close to amsterdam and having this tour was very interesting. Eventhough i am afraid of heights, it was good to learn what they do in the area, aswell as the noise they reduce by not using 6 runways.
Amazing! I have changed flights as a passenger in Amsterdam few times, in and out from Europe and as a passenger we have just a couple to few minutes to witness all the traffic on ground from the plane while landing if and when the weather allows and it's an amazing view!!! Now it's very nice to even have the ability to have a walk around with these videos! Very nice!!! Love it and calms me as a passenger to know how everything and everyone works for us passengers on the grond to make our flights as safe and comfortable as possible, Thank you very much!!! Huge respect and thanks to all personel involved! 👍

I know for a fact the netherlands need more air traffic controllers. So I do think this is also promotion of the job and what you actually do. Even though good video
She really loved his job the way she defined the operation is simply amazing.
One of the best videos on aviation i have ever seen
14:59 respect this lady..great words
Sam, awesome coverage! I'm Dutch living in New Zealand and used to spend a lot of time along the runways listening out and watching every plane and registration. Did you know that Schiphol is the only airport below sea level in the world?? It used to be a lake! Again, great coverage; you make me proud!!
There's many airports in New Zealand that are below Sea level. Eh Hawkes Bay Regional Airport
Sam, your clips are getting better and better, and I love the variety of the aviation subjects.
Beautiful filming there.
And so nice you visited Schiphol Oost as well!
Hope Google is rewarding you well, so you can keep this up. Best!
Are you paid to comment by Sam?
A fascinating behind-the-scenes video Sam, great content. Sat in our seats on ‘planes we really do take it for granted how much work and communication is taking place to keep everything running smoothly. Credit to those who work in this industry, I can’t imagine the skillset and mind required to work such a job. They deserve the high salaries that’s for sure! Keep them coming Mr Chui! :)
Wow the lady! She’s talking with so much enthusiasm. Love it!
Wow Maggie is over experienced, Man i've never seen such an experienced personel, Its over great!
I love Amsterdam, it’s a beautiful city! But Schipnol is an incredible airport with some awesome spotting opportunities! I’m incredibly jealous of you getting that opportunity to have a bird’s eye view! That was the most informative piece from the woman in radar. Amazing! Thanks for sharing.
14:01 says affirm instead of yes. Classic ATC behaviour
"Affirm" this word
fully emphasizes
the fact the questioner asked.
It is a proper answer
for her as a professional Air Traffic Control Staff.
Yes= informal agreement, prefered orally answer
Okayyyy then....
@@GIOGS
Then we need to know the meaning
of specific word in
different contexts
to easily understand
the whole story we talked about..
End.

Incredibly well done video. The people interviewed are true professionals. It is the people behind the scene, professionals that truly keep everyone safe and they deserve a great deal of respect!
I was one of the few lucky ones who had the chance to visit air traffic control at VOMM here in India a few years ago. It was one of the most interesting trips I have ever been on and really gave me a great appreciation for the people on the ground making sure you have a safe flight.
Thanks! I fly to Amsterdam several times a year from Norway as it is just a short stop away and a major hub to anywhere in the world. Always loved Schipol and I have often looked at the control tower and thought the workload in there must be insane. Thanks for the tour, the controllers seemed really professional and friendly.
It's official, Sam has THE dream job and position, that anyone in the aviation industry would love. He gets access to all types of aviation perks, from the cockpit, to the ground. I swear, it's not even a job at this point, it's a passion that he gets to enjoy and I'm glad he does.
I'm pretty sure it's not all sunshine as the videos show, there's got to be a lot of behind the scenes and extensive hard work to be able to show us all the material. Just the politics in aviation alone must be a nightmare, just to even ask for permission to get access to some places.
Sam, seriously, I'm glad I've subbed to your channel. You always bring the most interesting aspects of aviation and show the hard work that's put in by everyone, especially, the underappreciated staff. They help make everything run so smoothly, so passengers may be able to have a good flight, let alone be able to fly. I really appreciate the work you put in and keep it up Sam!
nice.t
Awww I loved this! What an incredible amount of hard work. These people have to be on and alert 100% of the time. Great video and THANK YOU CONTROLLERS!
Indeed, they work a very intensive hour (could be up to 110 movements) then an hour off. It is a challenging but rewarding job as well.
Very cool video, Sam!
My son is atc’er at Rotterdam tower and works also at Schiphol as a approach controller. I’ve been there and, yes, it is a great job they have!
Thanks for this video!
Amazing what the people are capable of. Sam is a nice personality and is knowledgeable about the topic. This is better than watching mainstream TV.
Thank you 🙏🏾 so much for this video. It’s great to see what’s going on in the Tower of one of the busiest Airports in the world (one of my favorite too) and for explaining the overall control
structure. 🔝!!
I get stressed just looking at this
same lmaoo
watching this im constantly thinking if id have that job id have people killed bc of my incompetence
Same here, i thought it was just me lol
Miyiu KWfo me too
@rocknroller1999 sure you got that right
I thoroughly enjoyed the very-informative video on air-traffic control. Thank you, Sam! The controllers explained it clearly.
Our dutch accents are just huge. 😂
You dutch accent sounds better than any other accent in English. I am currently in Australia and there are a lot of Dutch people without any accent. Can't say that about my German fellas... 😅
@@lolxd7150 true not all dutch people have the accents but all germans do
Daniel van der linde yeah the most and the accent is a lot worse 😂
That explains why TH-cam's auto-generated subtitles are in Dutch even though everyone speaks English in the video.
In Dutch to English alphabet G mean fuck me😂😂
Phenomenal excellent visit with the ATC's in Amsterdam. Thank you for doing this very professional video for us all.
Nice to see that you at Schiphol and at Maastricht euro control, manage to keep all this traffic separated, save and most of the time on schedule.
I just started gaming the best flightsimulator there is, and now I understand ATC much better. And as a Dutch citizen, I'm proud to see how high quality the traffic is handled.
Wow, who else is just satisfied just watching planes takeoff and land from their phone
When you are a very tall Guy in your country but the dutch are taller.
Dont question the elevated one
LOL :) 😂
@@SamChui ur one of my fav aviation TH-camr
@@untypicalgam3r mine too, that is why i watch him 😂
Asswhole all Dutch are not tall😠😠
@@michelvermeer1506 mine also for me he look like a panda
AWESOME video! I’m very proud to say my cousin is an air traffic controller instructor at Schipphol! And I’m so excited I’ll be seeing her this coming May! And cannot wait to see your review of the now flying 777X!
Wow! This lady sure loves her job, great to see that we are in such professionals hands who really like what they do!
Excellent orientation from this lady. I used to give tours at our Enroute Control Center (USA) when people would show up at our front gate and ask what we did because I enjoyed explaining to folks something they never knew. We weren’t near the airport so folks didn’t know who/what we were or what we did. I never said I spoke to airplanes. I just said I talked to those dots and the dots talked back. Utterly fascinating job.
"This is where all the magic happens"
When Corona is over, i shall be continuing my training to be full ATC in Somalia.
Happy national job
Kheer sxb🇸🇴💙
Amazing ,I'm really proud of you, are you training at Schipol airport Amsterdam or elsewhere
As an ex-ATC'er, I can honestly say that you will be entering a highly stressed BUT absolutely exhilarating walk through your work life that no-one can actually explain and never take take away from you. Pushing tin is AWESOME.
@@germaineagnew1889 how do you become one ? ( europe )
Good luck nin adag💪🏿🇸🇴
“When two avgeeks meet at the control tower, it’s a playground” 😂
*42 Ryanair landings happen in the background and cause an earthquake* "Its a playground"

Tawan Momo really nice to come to our own country
The way she explained her work and that confidence is just amazing! I need that in my life :)
The way she explained was just phenomenal
I'm preparing for ATC and this video is so useful. It got me even more excited about the job! Thanks Sam!
An absolute banger of a video thanks Sam and thanks to the great controllers at Schiphol!
Love the lady giving such a brilliant explanation
This was a very good special report, now every time I arrive and depart Amsterdam via the skies I know what’s going on.
Incredible, as i was almost landing at Schipol, these guys had their eyes on my life and the lives of the 300 people on the plane with me, and now i get to actualy see them!
Feels good to see the people that have your life in their hands at that very critical moment!
I used to live about 3 miles from 27 (Uilenstede) and the noise was unbelievable but it was a great experience sitting on the patio and watching all the flights come in on a windy day. I could almost wave to the pilots!
This woman has made me want to work in air control
ab c if u can do it anyone can do it smh
I am so incredibly grateful for the absolute gold information in this video. I’ve been watching a LOT of aviation videos recently and there was always an information ‘gap’ of how things are handled on the ATC side of things. Thank you for clearing this all up for me!
That’s the part we don’t hear or see often. I didn’t know this existed.
Dutch people get voted to speak the best english in europe. Sam! Goed gedaan! Geweldig video.
edward peaw kiat sturm Nederlandse gang hier maar inderdaad well done great video
I don’t know 🤷♂️
edward peaw kiat sturm right next year we will go to the beach 🏖
Really?
Although we learn English from Elementary School -new generation from Roblox 😅- Badly from Teachers with Steenkolen Engels 🤣
The lady was very fantastic in explaining how all things work. I learned a lot today from her. Thank you very much madam.
This is real pressure. Forget Trading Forex or hedge funds or anything in Finance or coding under prssure in Tech. These guys get it wrong people die. Its that simple. Amazing, even with the technology its incredible. ATC is special. How did they do it in the 50s, 60s. 70s without the technology I wonder. Glad they have it today but what a life. Respect. Thanks Sam for showing this.
What an interesting video! So clearly explained, especially the radar controller! I've never watched such a thorough video & was shocked to see the radar room...I am one of "those people" who just assumed it was the tower doing all the ATC...What a job they have, I know I couldn't do it, well done all you ATC's out there!! I was at Schipol in January last year, awesome airport & huge!! I live near CWL & love watching the planes ascend/descend into it. Especially the big one's 777 & 747's going in for repair/upgrade! Such a small airport compared to AMS though! Thank you Sam..
Great work. Very informative. The number of hand offs involved in a flight is amazing. Wow! All that done so seamlessly, through so many different organizations, allowing us all to arrive safely at our destinations. Keep up the good work Sam.
sam: How are you
guy: I'm good
guy: How are you
sam: I'm iN tHe ToWer
Helo
Excellent video, very informative. Thanks to you and the ATC guys for making this so simple and easy to understand for people like me who are not associated with the aviation industry but curious to know about Air planes and related stuff.
THANKS A TON !!
This lady knows what she is talking about. Very impressive.
Hat's off to the various staff / controllers..for doing what they do...looks easy on the screen..but is far from that...the rigorous training and tests that they have to pass..not to mention ..the nerves of steel that probably each of them possess is admirable... thanks so much for giving us a close up look into this wonderful and most crucial area of aviation..
I see Kenya Airways beautiful 787-8 dreamliner landing smoothly. Awesome to watch!
Thanks Sam. Very interesting and informative video, much better than National Geographic. Keep up the good work!
You’re very kind. It is hard to film while not disturb the actual controller’s work!
Thank you
the people work really hard to get the plane to the runway and from the runway to the terminal. The air traffic control work really hard. The radar operators are also really busy since in the dutch air space is very busy.
Too much inspired by the lady, she really loves her job, thanks to her for making our skies safer
You learn something new everyday, i didn't know it was that well organized with all of intergrated controllers handing off the planes to different controllers. Very interesting.
13:57 --> AFFIRM :) when you are an ATC and can't get rid of the phraseology even in normal speak....
I agree sir
Thats totally right 😅 sometimes we also say Negative to replace NO
@@hatinmustika4499 :) interestingly pilots are also affected, but not to the same extent. Nevertheless, I have been to an airport hotel, where the conference rooms are named after the phonetic alphabet, so I also made the "mistake" to say at the reception "room 309" with tri-zero-niner :D it was a bit embarrassing, but the receptionist didn't even blink.

Magánpilóta - Private Pilot N. Zoltán yeah 🙈 Sometimes I thought that phraseology could be more efficient for communication than plain words 😅
Living in the netherlands close to amsterdam and having this tour was very interesting. Eventhough i am afraid of heights, it was good to learn what they do in the area, aswell as the noise they reduce by not using 6 runways.

Pride of Africa...Kenya Airways.
My Airline
Pride of Africa?
South Africa.
Mugammad Benjamin SAA is bankrupt and Kenya Airways has the slogan
@@islandcactus1508 you do know that there are over 20 types of airlines in South Africa right?
Kenya is one of the world's poorest countries so why do they have an airline
I smell corruption
Amazing! I have changed flights as a passenger in Amsterdam few times, in and out from Europe and as a passenger we have just a couple to few minutes to witness all the traffic on ground from the plane while landing if and when the weather allows and it's an amazing view!!! Now it's very nice to even have the ability to have a walk around with these videos! Very nice!!! Love it and calms me as a passenger to know how everything and everyone works for us passengers on the grond to make our flights as safe and comfortable as possible, Thank you very much!!! Huge respect and thanks to all personel involved! 👍
Really love the good work of Sam chui showing the great work from the ATC and the Control Tower from Armstadam love for 6 star ⭐️
Loved seeing those KLM 747s!
I just love seeing KLM in general. Our blue pride.
