From a commercial Pilot in the UK. I cannot believe more people haven't seen this. I cannot thank ATC enough for what you do, the most incredible people! Thank You....
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.
If _one_ more thing starts pulling for my attention besides the single thing I'm currently working on I get stressed! Bravo to the men and women who do this day in and day out. Thank you!
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.

Wow wow wow! AT'Controllers deserve so much more credit than what they receive! Such a hard job that they are doing n doing it so well! Just amazing so they are x
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.

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
Very interesting. I love flying and learning about all the things that make it fun and safe travels in the sky. Thank You all aircraft controller's near and far!
After watching this programme! I have even more respect for these controllers! To say it was impressive to see, is an understatement! The levels they go to, is just stunning! I just wish I could say a big thank you to all of them! Thank you so much for making flying safe today!
There was a story going around Bristol, that someone picked the least foggy area in the hills south of the city for the airport. Once the airport was complete, all that concrete and no trees made it the foggiest area around. . . .
Betty Dunn, Indeed and if some humans get their way, we will be exporting this kind of ingenuity to other, far less habitable planets. They're sure to want weapons soon, in case something sentient disapproves of that kind of progress.
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!
lee s except the french ones because even though they strike for more money they seem to always be on strike and not actually working and because they go strike so often it’s creates absolute hell for rest of the world so that’s why they don’t deserve every penny
@@jamesevans938 I play atc madness 3d game that was made by a air traffic controllers and that's hard enough just a game so real life I take my hat off too you
I always have a deep appreciation on who watches the skies and gets the routes safe thank you! :D also I liked that segment in the button you can't just hit pause lol oh man imagine that it would just all go downhill xD
I sometimes fly from North Weald, a couple of miles south of Stansted and I get constant warnings about infringing from the instructor while doing circuits, it's important to realise pilots take it really seriously too
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.
Mark Plane Questions: Do you recall the total cost excluding laptop? Easy for a layman to duplicate? Easy to get the right equipment? If no or too high then I'm not interested but a few quid tor such entertainment is worth it.
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.
Ice Men every last one of them !!! Dont begrudge them a penny of their salaries with so much responsibility - not just in the air but on the ground !!! Bravo !!!!
have always admired them, played a bit of atc game and already felt the difficulty it brings, but the brain being in ultra hyper mode to manage those aircrafts is sort of like gym training on the brain and exciting
@mike A I agree. I know it's sad for them that they didn't get through but soem occupational/educational counselling would help them to develop a late Plan B to work on and enable them to have an enjoyable career. But, yes, lowering standards will inevitably lead to more accidents and deaths, since competence will be degraded as a result of slipping the standards down.
I don't know if it's true or not, but I've heard several times in my life that it's been ranked the most stressful job in the world. Even if that's not true, I'm sure it's gotta be amongst the top few.
Jacob Tudball the application process for NATS is quite intense, but it's nothing compared with how intense the training is. A huge amount of study, training and skill honing is involved because of the complexity of the job, but it is so enjoyable. I'm over two years into training and am live training at Swanwick with almost another year of training left most likely. It is a brilliant job!
That QRA exercise sent a shive right up my spine especially the bit where the pilot was like "I am instructed by her majesty's government if you do not respond you will be shot down"
MAVERICK 42, "That's RIGHT Baby! SCREW your electronics problem, we're gonna shoot down your plane with children on-board." Sounds like "Maverick" is so afraid of boogeymen that his fear translates to cheering rather than being properly concerned about an escalating situation.
@@maverick4220 I imagine it was a bit more dramatised and simplified in this video, the right response to a plane like that will have been thought through well and a compromise has to be made

@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.
i cant wait to be able to apply for NATS training, im 18 now and ive been wanting to do ATC since i was like 6 and im sooo close now but covid screwed it up
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!
I'm 57 years old and I wish I was a lot younger only because of this technology with these miniaturize turbofan turbojet engine that you could strap onto your legs and your arms and fly like Iron Man I get seen 30-40 years everybody will be able to Fly Like a Bird.

Probably one of the toughest job in the world with extremely high stakes.
Contrast British ATC speaking precision with "Kennedy Steve", a ground controller from JFK. Both get the job done using completely different styles.

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.
