    Great to see this! I am the Tom training towards the end of the video, although certainly more clean shaven now! Not sure what I was thinking at the time, all the training left me no time to groom myself perhaps! As much as I hate hearing my own voice, it's funny to rewatch this. Happy to say as of next month I'll have been valid for 3 years as a tower controller.

    As a recently passed PPL, I really get to appreciate you guys more than ever. I have spoken to London FIS on 126.5 and Farnborough Radar many times. I always get a little apprehensive when speaking to ATC but when I do, I speak at a steady pace with diction. Every call I make gets better.

    Nice work. It's nice to see what's the real main reason behind the delays and cancels. Now I got a better perspective, that it's not airline fault, but this delays and cancellation are designed for our safety. Too bad we didn't see how Tom's journey is when he finally sits in the control room and directing a real flight. But great work of cutting it to only the ATC part. We rarely think about your role, but seeing behind the scene, wow... it's a mind boggling. If pilots are in charged of the passenger's life on their own plane, these men and women are in charged with every passengers on every flight. Let that sinks. So thank you for doing such a great job of keeping us safe in the air.

    I travel two or three times a year and have seen people treat others badly. The ATC and ground control at every airport in the world work hard in highly pressure positions. Launching and landing thousands of airplanes over a 24 hr period. Likewise the individuals controlling the airline gates for individual airlines have to handle passengers who often have no respect for what is being done. They shout at people because their flights are delayed or canx. Highly respect and thanks to those who get me to and from my destinations

    Wonderful documentary! Just gives one a sense of how massive the aviation industry is and the degree of separation of various activities/responsibilities involved. For example, here we see the subjects that occupy the minds of the guys at Air Traffic and Radar control towers - such as weather, number of aircraft for take-off and landing, etc - which are far different from say the pilots whose focus are on aircraft dynamics, passengers/cargo on board, fuel, holding time, cross-winds, altitude, etc. Compare that with the ground handling crew who are naturally oblivious to such factors, being busy with push-back, parking, cleaning the runways, baggage handling, etc. Then there is the landside operations dealing with passenger check-in, baggage screening and security. Very siloed, but thoroughly inter-woven bunch of activities. It's like thousands of large sections of diverse individual clusters coming together, co-ordinating with multifarious invisible departments running virtually non-stop operations, with very minimal errors. Fabulous! What an industry. That's extreme sophistication for you!

    I can fully appreciate just how skilled the Air Traffic Controllers really are. I have my own system at home that receives ADS-B (Mode-S) aircraft signals and coverts the received data into a live radar screen on my laptop, showing flight number, aircraft registration number, aircraft type, Lat/Long, Airspeed, Altitude, Heading via an aerial on my roof, of which my house is the centre point on my screen . I have a range receiving of about 50 miles around me, so can truly appreciate just how busy it gets, to include Manchester, Liverpool and Leeds airports as I watch aircraft arriving over my house into Manchester, going North via Pole Hill, coming in from the Atlantic over Wallasey or coming down from or going up to Scotland. Mine is a ground station system that can feed data to public websites such as Flightradar 24, etc. for everyone else to see.

      Mine is a first Generation Kinetic Avionics SBS-1, you can still find them on Ebay on occasion for about 100 pounds (UK). Most of comes as standard in the software, all it needs is your lat/long so the aerial knows where you are to receive the data But over the years I have modified the programme, to include operator flags/logos and also use the User column in the list as a sort of digital logbook of first sightings. When it was new it cost me about 400 pounds (UK). Have a look at Ebay for Virtual Radar (Kinetic SBS-1 or SBS-3, which was the newer version with all sorts of add-ons in the programming or a radarbox version.

      @Spudman only a fraction of all those who apply are successful.. and then they must go through a training process that includes passing many exams and tests.. many applicants fail the exams and many drop out due to the pressure. ..That is why it pays so well.

    • @ClarkyAv
      @ClarkyAv  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Give it a couple of years. Likelihood is it will take that long for aviation to make a significant recovery. Then there is likely to be a backlog of people already inside NATS training. But I can imagine that in 3-5 years they'll recruit again. It's a great opportunity to find a job working in aviation and/or air traffic (FISO/ Air-Ground at a small airfield), get some experience and gain the maturity required to work as a controller. Best of luck to you!

    Surely it's obvious that London's airspace is saturated and any more flight must be diverted away from London so a third runway is just dangerous.

      Not that they have room but a third runway would alleviate a lot of delays. It doesn't mean more traffic.
