Air Traffic Control: How Hard Can it be?

I made a project for my College Success class and I interviewed an Air Traffic Controller. This is a video meant to be informative more than anything else. Oh and thanks to all the YouTube users (and the BBC) that made this video more entertaining.

I am planning on studying Air traffic controller in the air force if i get the job. And i have been looking at different videos on youtube that give different General information. But this video gave a more realistic and more detailed information on the life of a ATC that i never thought of....Very informative and gave me a lot to think about....thank you so much for posting it!

A student did this? Fascinating! You can tell a pro in the making from the homework he does.

refresher training is to make sure you arent picking up bad habits most likely.

excellent work kid. If your ever Memphis way, come visit us at the airport for a tour.

@FS98FSX you are partially correct as stateted in the FAA medical Exam Guidlines a medical examiner must deny a pilot medical Certificate if he/she has diabete mellitus requiring hypoglycemic medication... so you can if your diabetes is not so severe.

I'm an ATCO and am currently involved in training of new ATCOs. I'd like to use this video for recruitment purposes, but am hesitant due to the lack of subtitles.

@MO81 im no expert but i have been studying aviation technologies for around 15 years, i remember reading somewhere that the sight of glasses, and hearing aids show an ACT recruiter that the person applying may have trouble hearing or seeing information. Thus Yes they will be looked over in loo of someone else. It's nothing personal its just the fact ATC is a job that requires EVERYTHING to be perfect. No Exceptions.
