Join us up in the air traffic control tower to discover how 1350 flights are coordinated every day from the office with the best view of London Heathrow Airport.
This reporter is better than any well known reporter on national TV or Radio News nowadays, asked good questions. Air traffic control at Heathrow must be tricky when the airport is operating at 98% capacity on 2 runways, that was prior to Covid-19 pandemic of course. Impressive work and they are incredibly calm…
In the UK it was used by a television series documenting the day to day life of employees as EasyJet, since then it's become the unofficial theme tune for anything aviation-related in the UK.
Very good,I love air traffic control towers,& the happenings there.Great feeling indeed.Ady Dollan is doing a great job at Heathrow airport as the air traffic controller
Among the best art controllers in the world........I mean it! ( I will not forget the cool casual and professional way of the Americans too.......yep!!!!) Cheers from France,👍
Well Atlanta is mostly a domestic short haul airport…so yes it’s a lot busier than Heathrow, but Heathrow has larger long haul aircraft taking off and landing. Also Atlanta Airport has a bigger surface area and 5 or 6 runways, compared to Heathrow’s 2.
My ex-in England used to teach airline traffic controllers/travel guides/travel agents/ businessmen to speak BETTER/CORRECT English. They were all nice people. One at a time would come to our house on a Sunday night, then leave the following Sunday AM. He taught for years until Covid ruined it.
Kudos to all the controllers, pilots and everyone else that works at these large international airports!! Is it true that Heathrow only has two runways? I heard rumors that they are planning on building a third one. Thanks for the incredible upload!!
Yes it’s true and Heathrow 3rd runway has been in the plans for a while, but environmentalists and local residents have objected it for a while. Heathrow is surrounded by towns and villages in West London. It is actually a pretty bad place to locate a big international airport.
A note to my brother who went take air traffic control study in australia i am some time cry when than was crashed plane 9/11 like videos watching since by happened thx u u tube
This thing is a complete eyesore compared to our lovely old brick tower. It makes Heathrow a laughing stock amongst travellers as it was only supposed to be 'temporary' until a new concrete or brick tower was built. But it seesm they forgot to knock it down! IT IS AWFUL! It sways in high wind making people vomit , I know Ive been up it, well dodgy! ATC do a great job they deserve a PROPER control tower that doesnt look like some something from Anne Summers!
ist always english and the native langauge that are Aviation languages in a certain country. In Germany, as a VFR Pilot you can get a Radio-licence that is valid only for german atc. However I got my ATC Radio licence in english. It is in France very common, that ATC between French natives is in French language, even at international Airports. Same in South America with spanish...
is it? when you have a bad day as a donuts seller you can't kill 250 people but as an air traffic controller you well might accomplish that. That's a high risk job, similar to OTHER jobs but not similar to ALL jobs out there
You have little respect for humanity if you think ATC job is just like others. I agree with this other poster, if you sell donuts and make a mistake, you ruin a dozen or even six dozen donuts. If you're ATC and make a mistake, the results are immeasurable for generations to come.
I respect all jobs but atc jobs are dealing with a million lives per day around that and billions of lives with a year or so.one mistake and you can expect to lose an avererage of 200 plus people depending on aircraft and not to think thousands more below them in the towns and cities or other fellow craft in the air so yes point is atc jobs are far more harder than your average jobs.its an office job with lives at great stake and on top of that they have to be calm the whole damn time.school is bad and hard with studieswhen it comes to concentration for long periods but atc have it way way a million times worse than school or university students on the focus and concentation department.so yes other jobs are not for sissies but atc deserve that title.imagine one small mistake and you imprissoned or executed or labeld as a murderer for life from one tiny mistake which may destroy your life so yeah atc job is not an average job at all its like being at war but not at war
Big respect to the efforts of air traffic controllers
if any atc worker is reading Good job keep it up

Hats off to u guys. Becos of ur precise work we have a smooth day daily.
Very interesting video. Great respect and admiration for all those people that make air travel safe with their effort, skills and devotion.
I'm so sick of hearing 'Come Fly With Me' on anything to do with planes. It's such a colossal cliché.
In the UK it was used by a television series documenting the day to day life of employees as EasyJet, since then it's become the unofficial theme tune for anything aviation-related in the UK.
Very good video, helpful and informative. Thumbs up despite the tired and hackneyed Sinatra song.
Colin Gantiglew awww I love Sinatra now that I'm old, tired and hackneyed too

Oh my God..1350 flights a day..big salute to the workers of ATC worker. Regards from India.
Atlanta Georgia (where I live) gets 2700, busiest airport in the world tho
Well Atlanta is mostly a domestic short haul airport…so yes it’s a lot busier than Heathrow, but Heathrow has larger long haul aircraft taking off and landing.

This is amazing
Damn heathrow is super busy take my hat off to these people who work very hard.godspeed atc crew

Nice video, interesting series!
Amazing Airport
God bless them we appreciate you
Very very nice..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
UK is beautifull to fly in any time,the are working very professional at all,in the air and on ground, its a dream to work with.
Very interesting, would want to be an air traffic controller seems like a very entertaining job
1,350 flights a day, is nearly 1 per minute, 24/7. Jeez, busy place.
You also have to bear in mind that Heathrow shuts down between 23:30 and 04:30, the first take off allowed is 06:00
Love the A380 Lanyard
Very nice
Thanks a ton. If possible pls make a prog of New Delhi or Mumbai ATC at India. Regards.
superb I give respect to the control tower they are very helpful to pilots they do very helpful to save the passengers
the guy with the ID around his neck.......GORGEOUS...HANDSOME.....AND MORE...........

wow interesting
Must be one of THE most stressful jobs in the country.
Kudos to all the controllers, pilots and everyone else that works at these large international airports!! Is it true that Heathrow only has two runways? I heard rumors that they are planning on building a third one. Thanks for the incredible upload!!

A note to my brother who went take air traffic control study in australia i am some time cry when than was crashed plane 9/11 like videos watching since by happened thx u u tube
Cute to see an obvious aviation geek use his radio internship to get this opportunity 🤩
Who's now the controlling and how to office Ybor er in charge of the ATC heatrow Airport London
who has the high score
Who's now the controlling officer in charge of atc Heathrow Airport London?
kinda like a video game
Kennedy Steve is still King
Veni Vidi Vici all hail Kennedy Steve 🙌🏻😏
Any air traffic controller whant to let me ask them questions thanks
2:47 is that a Virgin Atlantic A319??
what to do if earthquake occur.
how id love to live at the top of LHR tower
British accent❤️
what about the gaint new istanbul airport
It's not in Berkshire, so the local radio station in Reading won't be interested. Ask your local radio station to do a piece on it.
What about it?
85 metres up how much feet is that.
+Christian Benn There are 3.28 ft in 1 metre, so 85m = 278.8ft
85 x 3
Google it you lazy fuck
Hm...I always thought ATC was in a dimmed room with several people sitting in front of radar consoles.
That used to be the case with CRT technology for approach. But Visual Control Room is by definition in daylight. - Retired engineer-
ok
YOU WORKS IN NATS
Air traffic controler? I always thought it was controller, nice video though
I hope you're trolling..😂
idk how you got a Tour but normally this is strictly access through the FAA
As this is the local radio station, probably through the PR department at Heathrow. And, the FAA only has jurisdiction in the US.
Share the Road its the law their not in the usa their in a whole different country dumb dumb
Trump will make sure FAA has jurisdiction in the UK as well, MAGA. America First. Fire and Fury.
@@thatsreg Said the person who uses "their" instead of "they're."
Yeah, as stated previously I think the jurisdiction of American agencies ends at the US border.
does the ATC tower at JFK have the same height also.
Ok
I bet that control room could be underground and it would work the same
This thing is a complete eyesore compared to our lovely old brick tower. It makes Heathrow a laughing stock amongst travellers as it was only supposed to be 'temporary' until a new concrete or brick tower was built. But it seesm they forgot to knock it down! IT IS AWFUL! It sways in high wind making people vomit , I know Ive been up it, well dodgy! ATC do a great job they deserve a PROPER control tower that doesnt look like some something from Anne Summers!
The language for aviation isn't English it's the language would be the country so for example in Paris France they would speak french.
Aberdeen Aviation english and french....
Yea.
thanks hahaha
ist always english and the native langauge that are Aviation languages in a certain country. In Germany, as a VFR Pilot you can get a Radio-licence that is valid only for german atc. However I got my ATC Radio licence in english. It is in France very common, that ATC between French natives is in French language, even at international Airports. Same in South America with spanish...
i got my radio-license in french in canada
Its a kind of Job, similar to all jobs out there isn't ??? So why make so hype
is it? when you have a bad day as a donuts seller you can't kill 250 people but as an air traffic controller you well might accomplish that. That's a high risk job, similar to OTHER jobs but not similar to ALL jobs out there
You have little respect for humanity if you think ATC job is just like others. I agree with this other poster, if you sell donuts and make a mistake, you ruin a dozen or even six dozen donuts. If you're ATC and make a mistake, the results are immeasurable for generations to come.
Without ATC, Your flight would not leave the gate
I respect all jobs but atc jobs are dealing with a million lives per day around that and billions of lives with a year or so.one mistake and you can expect to lose an avererage of 200 plus people depending on aircraft and not to think thousands more below them in the towns and cities or other fellow craft in the air so yes point is atc jobs are far more harder than your average jobs.its an office job with lives at great stake and on top of that they have to be calm the whole damn time.school is bad and hard with studieswhen it comes to concentration for long periods but atc have it way way a million times worse than school or university students on the focus and concentation department.so yes other jobs are not for sissies but atc deserve that title.imagine one small mistake and you imprissoned or executed or labeld as a murderer for life from one tiny mistake which may destroy your life so yeah atc job is not an average job at all its like being at war but not at war
