It is a very exciting occupation and I'm excited to share with you. And can you tell us, what's the first step? How do they apply? People want to know how they can become an air traffic controller. Air traffic control is the first question I know I'm asked when I'm telling people what I do for a living. Thanks so much for joining us today, Nicole.

Our colleague, Liz Cory, interviewed FAA human resources director of Aviation Careers, Nicole Gage, about how to get started on your journey to becoming an air traffic controller. You're going to hear from some of our experts or know exactly what an aspiring controller goes through, from the time they apply for the job to work in actual flights from the control room. At peak times, they monitor and manage about 45,000 flights a day from the runway to cruising altitude and back down, all for safety and flight efficiency.Ĭontrollers are absolutely critical to the FAA's mission to maintain the safest and most efficient aerospace in the world. FAA controllers work for more than 680 locations, including airport towers and radar facilities. And today, we're starting off strong with our most requested topic, how to become an air traffic controller.Īir traffic controllers are the guardians of our skies, and the FAA has more than 14,000 of them across the country, working on the front lines to ensure the flying public and pilots reach their destination safely. Over the next few weeks, we're going to dive into a few different aerospace careers and how exactly a person would get a job in that field.
