Becoming an Air Traffic Controller … and Being One
Update: 2022-05-17
Description
Welcome to The Corporate Pilot Guys Podcast, during this episode Rob and Tim interview TikTok's Skylady Lindsey, an Air Traffic Controller at a busy Class Bravo airport and a Private Pilot with an instrument and seaplane rating.
This interview with Lindsey will entail how to become an Air Traffic Controller, what the FAA's Air Traffic Controller Academy is like, the hiring process, transferring from one facility to another, on the job training, and so much more.
Are you a new pilot? Afraid to talk to ATC? Do you avoid controlled airspace to bypass talking to ATC? Lindsey gives some of her tips for talking to ATC from her experience as a pilot and an Air Traffic Controller.
How should a dispute with ATC be handled? In the air or on the ground, both, neither? We will discuss how to deal with a dispute between a pilot and a controller.
Capabilities of Controller Pilot Data Link Communications, better known as CPDLC, is a newer form of communication that has taken the place of some voice communications over the radio. Learn about CPDLC and what it can do from the pilot's perspective as well as the Air Traffic Controller's perspective.
