Description:

Ever wonder how thousands of aircraft safely crisscross the skies every day. Behind every flight is a team of professionals guiding aircraft through complex, ever-changing airspace — and it all starts with air traffic control. This one-hour webinar takes you behind the scenes to gain valuable insight into how controllers manage the safe and efficient flow of aircraft through our skies — from takeoff to landing and everything in between.  

Led by veteran ATC expert Richard Kennington, this session offers an eye-opening introduction to the world of air traffic control. You’ll get a clear introduction to the structure of air traffic control, the roles controllers play, the tools and technologies they rely on, and the procedures that keep our skies safe and efficient.

What You'll Learn:

  • The structure and layers of the air traffic control system
  • Key roles within control towers, terminals, and en-route centers
  • Tools, technologies, and communication systems in action
  • Real-world insights into the daily responsibilities of air traffic controllers

Join us to explore the fascinating world of air traffic control and develop a deeper appreciation for the people and processes that guide our skies.
