It’s often called one of the most stressful jobs in the world. Air traffic controllers not only monitor and guide dozens or hundreds of aircraft per day, but they do so knowing that at every moment, their guidance keeps passengers and aircrews safe. Likewise, these quick-witted workers also understand that any mistakes can lead to catastrophe. In this white-knuckle quiz, do you think you have the basic knowledge that it takes to become an air traffic controller?
In the United States alone, there are thousands of air traffic controllers working everywhere from small airports in Oklahoma to the dizzying madness of huge metropolitan airfields like those in New York City and Los Angeles. No matter the location, their jobs are equally important, which is why they must have superior cognitive skills and stable emotional characteristics. Do you think you have the mental agility to handle dozens of pilots at once?
Controllers must understand the flight characteristics of many types of aircraft. They also have to factor in weather, traffic patterns, pilot demands, and a whole lot more. And they have to balance all of these variables with Federal Aviation Administration regulations and safety concerns in mind, too.
Stick to the flight plan in this air traffic controller quiz now! We’ll see if your ready for the downwind leg or if you’re still stuck on the tarmac waiting for takeoff.
