Air Traffic Control - It's Less Organized Than You Think

[@JUSTDOITdaily.]

Air Traffic Controllers irl : _"Our job can be very stressful."_ Air Traffic Controllers in GTA: _"There are cars drag-racing on the runway, 10 flying motorbikes bombing them and one spaceship glitched into the airport."_

I've never known a controller that said the job was stressful. you probably hear that from the trainees that couldn't make it. in 23 years I saw a few guys freak out....one vet that just lost it, but mostly trainees and short-timers.

ATC: These planes would sure crash without our guidance. Mexican Cartels: why do we need guidance for flying our planes, the sky is big enough for everyone.

[@pushing2throttles]

Your characterization of ATC is inaccurate, unfair, and partially ignorant. You didn't mention anything about ADS-B, which is a new technology. The mid air accidents you cited were not necessarily controller error, especially the New York accident. The controllers I've experienced, as a pilot, are intelligent, professional, competent, highly organized, and downright super human at times. ATC in the United States is demanding and I'm here to tell you firsthand that they do an amazing job. Another bone I want to pick is about where controllers get their education. Many come from the military having been a controller for Uncle Sam. Others through civilian programs which you didn't really expound on. Universities, such as Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, have ATC as an available major. Even with that they still have to go to Oklahoma City after graduation to complete the FAA's program. I mean your video was incomplete and a bad video. Enough to make me give you a thumbs down and unsubscribe from your channel. Really really disappointed. I used to like your channel. Quality of content has been decreasing and this awful video on ATC was enough. I've heard enough. Click... bye!

[@badboyz7318]

We don’t use the “point to point” radar system anymore as a primary radar system. Funny being because it’s called a primary radar. We use a system that uses a transponder/interrogator “secondary radar” as well as the primary radar with it. Though there are a lot of variables we also have a lot of fail safes for said variables. Read the .65 if you want to know more about that. We also use the Starrs keyboard that helps all these centers/RAPCONs/TRACON/towers to work together. Some aircraft don’t even talk to us like a VFR aircraft (in 95% of airspace). They can request flight following for us to give them traffic alerts but that’s all we can do with those guys. Plus there’s a guy called the watch supervisor that monitors everything said and done on the scope. Anything happens they’ll know.

[@bakurowbi976]

ZAU kinda missed on the fail safes and backups in 2014 when the disgruntled employee set the fiber optics cable on fire... Most people who would try to read the .65 would either fall asleep or think they were learning greek.

People dont realise that ATC is probably the hardest job in aviation souly based on the fact that many of them can be grumy and angry but the second you have an emergency to deal with they can make you feel at home and change life or death situations. On one hand the pilot is trusting someone with his life and ATC has to handle it if they make it down safe or not. It's a bit much to handle on those times

That’s completely untrue that they work long hours. It is regulation for them to work no more than 5 hours shifts at a time

You're right, this is one of their incorrect videos, and it is horribly inaccurate

[@reggiecactus2810]

It’s always pilot error if anything happens.

[@Alex-ne3hx]

MaverickMissile Yea this video is very poorly researched

[@brianeleighton]

No. They can only work 5 hours on a scope. They then take a break and can do another 5 hours on the scope. The workload on ATCs is accurate.

[@brianeleighton]

@@reggiecactus2810 Not true. The incident in Los Angeles in 1991 for instance was 100% on the ATC. In that instance, there was a commuter plane that had gotten cleared to line up on the runway. There was a large jet that was given clearance to land on the same runway and landed on the commuter plane, killing everyone on board the commuter aircraft. The incident in southern Germany was the result of one ATC having to monitor multiple scopes and he vectored two planes into each other head on.

As anyone who does any amount of regular flying (either as a passenger or a pilot) in the US will tell you, the FAA is about as inefficient and ineffective as you can imagine. One of the few agencies that is demonstrably even more inefficient and/or ineffective than the FAA is the TSA.

[@lawsonthepunmaster9010]

Even if ATC makes a mistake and planes do get too close in midair there is a system called TCAS, Traffic Alert, Collision, Avoidence, System. The two planes will get a Resolution Advisory yellowing one plane to climb and the other descend. That’s exactly what happened in 2002 in Unberling Germany but an air traffic controller told Russian pilots to descend even TCAS told it to climb. At the time Russia had policies that you can listen to the ATC controller’s advice when it came to midair conflict which is exactly what the Russian pilots did. The plane descended as well as the other and collided

[@maverickmissile801]

Oh my. You are right about control towers helping with take off and landing, but they don't help them on their taxi. That falls to the ground controll. And tower workers actually do participate in helping with the pilot's route. I'm a fan of the channel, but actually get stuff like this right please.

[@bakurowbi976]

Ground control IS in the control tower! Position there are flight data, ground, local and supervisor, with some variations due to facility size. Ground will give the taxi route including 'follow the...' hold short of or cross Runway...etc.

More like 90% of people selected don’t make it. They are seriously short staffed and working overtime like crazy. Air traffic has increased like 4x in 50 years, but the number of controllers has nearly halved due to budget cuts. They haven’t implemented anything new because their computers are like 20-30 years old and can’t do anything else.

[@Ducktanium]

I Kinda have to stop you if you think that this is the reality, maybe in the us but definitely not in every country, in germany you have to make a several year training and much more complex things to get to this point, secondly almost everything in this video is Extremely simplified, this helps it beeing understandable but in this case it leaves out many important details, saying that all of this should be automated is simply a complete understatement of the hardness of this job, every scenario is different, if these systems will ever fail this would lead to thousands of people dying, air traffic controllers have the ability to do all of this manually guess what a robot cant, in training you will learn to communicate with everyone via small paper pieces saying that they only watch out of the tower is also wrong, we have many visual screens that show us everything but still we often do that for reinsurance or cause we have nothing to do. Saying that they are on a very high stress level well that is also american, we are not allowed to work longer then 2 hours without a 30minute break(paid working time)and we work in general not that often. And yes a tiny thing can disrupt everything but what are you going to do about it, put down turrets and shoot down everything and maybe cause a disaster due to malfunction, hacking or the turret thinking a plane is a drone. And as far as old technology, I have no idea on where you have that from Overall I can’t agree with almost anything said in this video maybe you can explain to me if I misunderstood something but for now I think i have everything ty for reading
