THE ROLE OF AN AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLER

Air Traffic Controllers have a large degree of responsibility and are responsible for the traffic in airspace. It is a job that requires an ability to work effectively under pressure and also one that requires a high level of organisational skills. Let’s take a look at some of the key tasks carried out by our Air Traffic Controllers:

  • Responsible for maintaining keeping radio and radar contact with aircraft;
  • Being able to move and direct the aircraft whilst they travel to and from airports both at home and internationally;
  • Giving specific instructions to aircraft so as to direct them to a required altitude so to avoid collision and to maintain an organised airspace;
  • Giving permission for aircraft to either land or take-off;
  • Supplying pilots with details of current and forecast weather conditions;
  • Organising aircraft so that a safe distance is maintained between them at all time, both on the ground and in air;
  • Dealing with emergencies, unscheduled traffic and events that are unexpected in a controlled and calm manner.

There are, of course, many other different elements to the role of an Air Traffic Controller and the selection process/training for the job reflects the high standard of candidate that is required to perform the role competently.

AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLER SELECTION PROCESS

The selection process for an Air Traffic Controller is rigorous and will normally consist of the following elements: 1. An ability to meet the minimum eligibility requirements for the role. 2. A application form that assesses the key qualities and competencies required to become an Air Traffic Controller; 3. A number of aptitude tests to assess your mental and reasoning ability, including spatial awareness; 4. A number of interviews which are usually structured in nature. The interview panel will be looking for you to provide evidence of where you can meet some of the key elements/qualities of the role.

SAMPLE AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLER INTERVIEW QUESTION

Take a look at a sample Air Traffic Controller interview question. This will help you to understand what to expect in terms of question styles and, more importantly, how to answer the interview questions effectively.

This kind of question is guaranteed to be asked during the Air Traffic Controller interview, simply because being able to work under pressure is a requirement of the role. Anyone can say that they “would be able to work effectively under pressure”, but actually providing evidence of when they have already demonstrated this key skill in a previous role, is a totally different matter. When responding to this interview question consider the following tips: Provide the interview panel with a SPECIFIC situation of where you have successfully worked under pressure in a work environment. A good example of this might be where you have had to work to a very tight deadline. Make sure your response is concise and logical. The most effective way to achieve this is to utilise the S.T.A.R. method when creating your response: S – tell them what the SITUATION was. T – Explain what the TASK was that you had to do. A – Tell the interview panel what ACTION you had to take and why it was effective. R – Finally, tell the interview panel what the RESULT was following your actions. Always try to ensure that the outcome or result was positive. By following the S.T.A.R structure for responding to interview questions you will be ensuring that your responses are both concise and relevant.
