Air Traffic Controller | Qualifications required to become an ATC
Who is an Air Traffic controller?
An Air Traffic controller is responsible for directing aircrafts on the ground and through controlled airspace and provides advisory services to aircraft in non-controlled airspace. The primary responsibility of an Air Traffic controller is to communicate with pilots and ground staff to manage a flight and ensure the safety of a flight on ground such as clearance delivery before an aircraft taxi and in air as well. Pilots get the ground position and get the clearance from ATC to land or take off.
The inter communication is carried out from the controlling tower, where they can see the aircrafts and ground space. Radar and radio signals are used to communicate with the pilots and the tower back and forth. An air traffic controller could even be responsible for a crash based on the legal theory of negligence.
