Would've been good to show an actual ATC working so we've got a point of reference.
I saw math I logged out
Same
Nicollette clever one 😂
Lol
😂😂😂
“Apparently you can’t train for it, you’re either born an air traffic controller or not” yeah I’m gonna stop watching right there.
Thought the same exact thing. This is bs
😂😂😂
@@siderofficial it's obviously a joke loser lol
@@bycion7770 well then its really good way to start a video..
Yeah that's Bs lol
I actually just did the second round of testing. I must say that some of the parts of the exam are extremely tough, you literally need to be superhuman to be able to ace all the tests, especially the radar simulation which also involves doing calculations at the same time in the matter of seconds. I think everyone should just apply and see how far they can progress. I have done lots of tests and this one was by far the hardest bunch of tests I have ever experienced.
Second round of testing? I just got my CIL acceptance.. There's more testing after that before the academy?
I did my second round just last week. And I must say the radar stuff was really fun. But things like prolonged attention was really tough. I did pass everything. Now I'm waiting for the results of my medical exams
@@Pekentercongrats man ! I got the flu while passing the second round, impossible to stay focus for 4 hours… I’m trying again this year !
@@tchouros Great excuse. Should have used the "Covid"
@@onemorething100 Covid and flu aren't that different now, so you can choose which one you prefer!
All I saw is you sitting in front of a screen and talking about not underestimating... Show us the actual thing. What was the point of this video?
I've been fascinated by planes and flying for as long as I can remember. Never acted on it.
Looking into at least giving NATS a shot and see if I get anywhere
Found any vacancies?
Same mate. How's it working out for you?
Go do a Trial Instructional Flight! They’re available at pretty much any flight school/aero club. As much as learning to fly is expensive, FEE-HELP in Australia can cover the vast majority of costs (except things like textbooks, medical examinations, the odd CASA exam/license test fee etc).
Plot twist it wasn’t a simulation? He landed a bunch of planes perfectly ;)
Excellent video! Everybody thinking about applying to be a controller should watch this.
We could use more quiet in the background, BUT good video, got the point across. Thanks.
no we need some jazz
The most stressfull and extremely responsible job - i wouldn't be able to do that. I am glad i am customs specialist, still responsibility but... air traffic is even far more responsibile job than that ( responsibility for life of hundreds of people)
The guy you worked with/ teacher you during the simulator was his name alexandro or something like that?
And thats why we have radar vectors and flight plans
How do you get this job? Do you have to do a specific study for this?
It's all well and good when the instructors aren't bullying students that are tetoring on the edge of pass or fail.
is it really that common? I've seen a few comments like this one and its making me bit hesitant to apply
Absolutely no offense meant here but watching this guy trying it out is actually the first time I ever got flight anxiety
Abysmal from start to finish.
Is he crazy? Of course you train to become an air traffic controller. They don’t put anyone in this job without the proper training
They don't control all the planes in the sky. It's called Class G airspace.
Can definitely tell he is a trainee with his boom aimed at his nostril 😂😂
Hey r u in this job because if so is there a way to dm u further more into this
@@yousofabdelwahed9598 hey man did you find anything upon your comments as I’m going into college without a clue of what course i wanted to do but I saw this and it looks great
The actual simulation is from 3:44 to 4:00, that's it. Yes. Exactly, it's totally pointless video.
Y'all are some amazing people ❤️💜💚💛🖤
Anyone else concerned that they didn't care enough to clean the camera lens?
I really need someone to explain to me how I can gain experience as an air traffic controller
Because I cant find any information about that and I really want to know what can
give some sort of advantage on others I'll be grateful if anyone can help

Join the airforce as an airtraffic controller to get experience
Terrible terrible music
Definitely not going with this video 🤦🏻♂️
i like it
Not all air traffic, class g only.
@@RS-uo2nd Yes
@@RS-uo2nd See above.
@@RS-uo2nd Ok.
Clean your lens
Ok ok ok Darren don’t you dare start to hate him
music is so annoying
It would also help to either talk through your nose or lower the mic to your mouth. They would appreciate being heard I’m guessing 😂🤷♂️
This looks like a crazy job
I think this is something that takes time to master but then again those are living souls so you hit to ball running guess?
I feel clickbaited.. didn’t see how an atc job is actually like.
Yeah, am born an Air traffic controller..starting my aerodrome control course on the 16th March 2020.
Where do you study this major?
Which university ?
What is the requirement to be join a testing system? What are the tests and how can one train ?
I wonder!!!!! I am in Harvard university
Very nice I am air traffic controller and pilot assistant
AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLER IS A GOOD JOB. IT'S A SMART JOB :)
3:47 they say heading 000 instead of 360?
Was this dude high or drunk.....WTF he was goofy as hell!!!
But you *can* get a degree for it, in fact it's required in most countries.
Is it require in uk
@@noyesnohaha No, it's not required.
@@Vipa567sir I'm indian can i become air traffic controller in Europe?
I have done bachelor in physics
I wana on job training atc aerdrome can i get that.plse.
log cabin lover 😂
Lol my spatial awareness is 0 but what an incredible job.
Well that was a waste of time
But you had to write comment under it.
AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLER IS A PROFOUND PROFESSION :)
It is a great career, but if I could do it, anyone can do it. It's all about your work ethic.
I’m 20 and have nothing to do in life right now. And for some reason ATC seems to be the one who picked me! Lol I am studying on it hard right now I really want to get a feeling of what I’m in for 😂
If you are in the US I'd recommend getting your SEI (special experience identifier) through the military. I became dual qualified Tower and Rapcon by enlisting in the Air Force and getting picked up for the 1C1XX (ATC) billet. You can go to the recruiter and you don't have to commit to anything until you are signing the enlistment contract knowing exactly what job you are getting in the military. You can talk to an Air Force recruiter and tell them you only want ATC and wait until that billet opens and you get picked up. I did a 6 year contract which ends in May and I plan to apply for the next FAA prior experience bid (I don't have to pass any tests other than the occupational personality assessment and medical because I already have multiple SEI) but you can also get a 4 year contract now. If you decide to apply for the off the street bid it's a bit tougher and more competitive but regardless I hope you are able to pursue ATC because it is such a rewarding profession.
Can you imagine, EIGHT HOURS OF THIS?
If you look at the average wage of ATCs that's worth it
@@marku1278 $122, 000 is the median salary
You don’t work 8 hours straight, work 2 and rest one!
I'm studying nursing but this is also intresting 😂 what to do
heyy what did you do at the end?
Shashi Chocolat I'm still studying nursing and I will graduate decemeber 2021, I decided to finish that degree. Both professions (nurse and air traffic controller) intrests me so after I graduate I will apply to another university to become an air traffic controller 💅🏻 aaand far in the future I can either work in a hospital or in a tower
When you make a mistake at work, you will kill 1 man. When the flight controller makes a mistake, sometimes even more than 200 people disappear!
You can sometimes relax in an armchair at work. If the light comes on at night, you get up and there's no problem. When the flight controller falls asleep in a chair, it is not the light bulb that lights up, but the plane.
Take care of your business. We all appreciate you as well as your job especially in this day and age. Stay healthy and good luck to you! ;-)
That’s so weird! I’m an aspiring nurse who randomly searched this video after the role peaked my interest.. and I find your comment lol
Hey I’m wanting to know what you chose in the end as well? I am debating between ATC or Sonographer.
You nddd 20/20 vision?
They train for it in fresno california...they give you paid training!!
Love the aviation world but I wear glasses so pilot is not a career option. Watched Top Gun and figured out a possible career here
You could still get a pilot job wearing glassess!
@@tacothursdays6546 really? I've been told all my life my glasses would restrict me
@@vendel3214 I googled it and found a Federal Aviation Administration standard that permits Glasses and Contact Lenses
Go fly after your dream!
That was proper shit

Turn right heading left. Descent to 20.000 ft you're currently at 13000 ft. Dump fuel over Putin's head.

I don’t aggree with you when you said you cant train it or get a degree for it .
Anything can be trained. Anything.
Sure love
Math? Aight
0/10 did not see any wand waving.
Those are marshallers who use the wands, not air traffic controllers
@@TheMontyFox then who directs the planes?
@@liams.5536 Marshallers and air traffic controllers are two separate people
@@TheMontyFox gotta know a troll when u see one haha
Lol good joke
SECRET :)
000 try 360
He needs a massage
1. Not all planes are controlled by ATC, some fly in uncontrolled airspace.
2. You are not born an ATC, you train to do it, potentially 18mths in total before you get your initial rating.
3. You don't need to be super-educated, I know people with an aviation degree who failed, others with no degree passed.
4. If considering this as a career, research Airservices Australia and its culture. Staff are poorly managed with low morale.
Dead
მ.შ.
This is not a vedio game.. you are controlling two planes now , please be careful.
this is a simulation actual planes are not flying
@@ravantheoghacker863 👍 okay
What hapoens if i cause a plane to crash in to adelaide airport skipper ?
Don't worry about that mate probably get a couple of rubber-neckers and someone might phone in to tell us to keep the noise down but other than that be my guest....one other thing mate the more people on the plane the funnier it is to watch em running atound on fire !
