Air Traffic Controller - A Career In Aviation

[@kevinmoore6780]

Excellent video, interesting and informative and a good little insight of how ATC works at St Helena. Well done to all who made the mini documentary possible. 🙂

[@whatthesaintsdidnext]

Hi Kevin, thanks for the comment 👍 Will be interesting to see one day if one or two of our young people are inspired to try ATC as a career. Lots of opportunity! 😃

Great video! Very good explanation about the ATC basics and operations at Saint Helena.

[@whatthesaintsdidnext]

Thanks so much for checking out the video, and that feedback 👍😊

[@mehlcarelse4319]

A mini-documentary on the hospital/clinic on St. Helena island showing the various wards, theatres, TB Clinic, pharmacy etc. would be appreciated. Also interviews with medical personnel would be fantastic.

[@whatthesaintsdidnext]

Hi Mehl, great suggestion 👍 it would certainly be a useful film for people, we get a number of questions via WTSDN about healthcare services. If a film like this was to be commissioned we would definitely enjoy making it 😊

Thank you for a very good video. Was at St. Helena in the sixties and loved every minute.

[@whatthesaintsdidnext]

Excellent video! Well done and clear explanation! Nice to see that ATC has many elements in common around the world! Cheers from an ATCO in LSZL 🙂

[@whatthesaintsdidnext]

Hi John, thanks so much 😊 we see LSZL is in Switzerland, wonderful to get some feedback from there. Making the film has given us a real appreciation for the wonderful work being done by you ATCs 👍 keep up the good work, keeping the skyways safe! Cheers ✈

I love these videos especially aviation related

[@whatthesaintsdidnext]

Thanks @sunday1602 👍making this one was a lot of fun for us too. Fascinating to be in the control tower during flight operations 😊 Make sure check out our 'Aviation Weather Forecaster' as well kzbin.info/www/bejne/g4jJdJuViJWSpdk

Yebo! I wish I could see more like this content! It’s amazing

[@whatthesaintsdidnext]

Hey TuckerStar1, thanks for the feedback 👍we do have a few more St Helena videos in the pipeline, so make sure subscribe to our channel for first notification when they are posted 🙂 This particular film, Air Traffic Controller, was a real privilege for us to make. Amazing to have a front-row seat to this vital work.

[@banana1618]

an excellent sequel to the Aviation Weather Forecasting video: great work guys! The information provided is all v interesting and relevant. Videography, commentary, editing, etc brilliant! Dayle never missed a beat: clear, concise yet full explanations.... (and Dayle please give my best to... Hatfield? 😃😃 )

[@whatthesaintsdidnext]

Hey @Banana11, thanks so much 👍 it's been a great experience working with the airport team on these films. When people are passionate about what they do, it makes our job a lot easier. Dayle is awesome 😃

[@filiphlupic1582]

I think and i hope that this is what i will be doing in my life. I was invited to third round of testing.

[@whatthesaintsdidnext]

Good luck, Filip 👍hope your testing goes well. The role of the ATC carries so much responsibility, most impressive what they do 🙂

[@aidenvonfluee9239]

Currently in the application phase. 👍

[@whatthesaintsdidnext]

Good luck Aiden, it's an exciting career path for sure 👍😊

[@Shadows-987]

Is it a film or is it an advertisement? please can I know at least the title 🙏❤️

[@whatthesaintsdidnext]

Hi @Shadows-987, thanks for stopping by and your comment. 👍 The title of the film appears at 58 secs in: 'A Career in Aviation, AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLER' We produced this on behalf of St Helena Airport. It's a promotional film highlighting both the overall role of the Air Traffic Controller as it relates to the aviation industry, and also sharing how this is applied at St Helena. All the best from St Helena 😊❤️

[@dvikramdayalu6723]

had a doubt about 800people each A/C ....@13:32 min......please brief on this

[@whatthesaintsdidnext]

Hey @dvikramdayalu6723, thanks for checking out the video and your comment. As we understand it, the comment in the video re 800pax is made in consideration of the Airbus A380-800 which can carry in excess of 800 passengers if in single economy class configuration. Trust that answers your question. Cheers.

[@ntuthukokubheka]

do they allow job shadowing at ATNS?

[@whatthesaintsdidnext]

Good question, but unfortunately not one we can answer. That would be something you would have to check with the ATNS about. Cheers

[@whatthesaintsdidnext]

Hi Sara @@saramathurasingh9285 thanks for your comment, however, it's another question that we can't answer ourselves. Sorry. Perhaps your tutors or instructors could help answer or point you in the right direction on this. Thanks for checking out our channel. Good luck with your degree 😊😊👍👍

[@rokeep249]

Hello I want to hound the NATS plan to become an atc I was wondering what kind of degree do I need to apply there?

[@whatthesaintsdidnext]

Sorry, not sure about that RO. Your best bet is probably try get in touch with the NATS UK. www.nats.aero/ Thanks for the comment, good luck 🙂

Can Michael Bedwell confirm the grass suitably cut and not infringeing the sight of arriving traffic?

[@whatthesaintsdidnext]

Hey Radley, do you mean grass around the airport? The landscape is generally pretty volcanic/barren, grass not really much of a problem that we're aware of. 😃 But maybe Michael can add something different 👍😊 Thanks for checking out the video.

[@radleysmith7528]

[@CyberSecEnthusiastNtuthuko]

Aviation Is the best how much do air traffic controller trainee earn in South Africa?

[@whatthesaintsdidnext]

Just based on a quick google search (19 Nov '22), this info may be useful: "An entry level airport air traffic controller (1-3 years of experience) earns an average salary of R226,802. On the other end, a senior level airport air traffic controller (8+ years of experience) earns an average salary of R407,644." www.salaryexpert.com/salary/job/airport-air-traffic-controller/south-africa/durban ATNS would probably be a good place to check for more accurate information.
