    Extensive training is required to become an air traffic controller and it helps them effectively handle both normal operations and emergency situations. Classroom and simulator training helps controllers develop skills to guide aircraft safely and address issues like engine fires, landing gear problems, or medical emergencies in the air. Even after graduating from training, controllers continue learning on the job with additional training at new locations and supervision from experienced controllers. Maintaining self-control, health, and working as a team are also important skills for air traffic controllers to develop through ongoing training.

    ATC TRAINING AND EMERGENCY HANDLING

    “Never stop learning, for when we stop learning, we stop growing”

    Loyal Lewman 1917-1997

    ATC like every other profession in the aviation industry, demands extensive training.
    Before an ATCO can get onto the controls, every air traffic controller goes through extensive
    studies and training. Classroom discussions of real and hypothetical scenarios and ATC
    simulator practicals help produce and refine professional skills over the course of the training.

    Extensive Air traffic controller training makes emergencies seem ordinary. Preparation,
    organization, and team work help navigate almost any sort of crisis. Air traffic controllers must
    be professionally sound. We try to help pilots in emergency situations in our thought process. If
    the controller can stay calm, there's a greater likelihood the pilot on the other end will remain
    calm as well. A consummate professional, can deftly manage different situations from an air
    traffic control center on the ground.

    Not every situation can be handled so sure-handedly but extensive training is the one
    thing that ATCOs have on their side. One must display good decision-making and data analysis
    skills and at the same time, need to have a temperament that allows you to be flexible enough
    to make changes along the way.

    An aircraft with engine fire that demands an emergency landing, problem with landing
    gears, and sudden traffic conflicts all constitute an emergency that requires some quick thinking,
    but they become routine with enough training. Situations like health issues like hypoxia from a
    loss of cabin pressure or a low on fuel situation, all of those are scenarios that can be and are
    practiced.

    Even on a normal day, guiding aircrafts safely from startup to switch off requires an
    elaborate skill and professionalism involving no less than three kinds of air traffic controllers.
    From the tarmac to the point of departure, planes are guided by an airport’s air traffic control
    tower. After that, Radar Approach Control, takes over, helping pilots navigate the busiest part of
    the airspace, which stretches miles around an airport. And phase three is the domain of the
    area controllers, who help planes once they’ve reached desired altitude and areas. When it
    comes time to land, the entire process is executed in reverse.
    That's why training must continue even after controllers graduate from the Academy.
    Depending on the aerodrome or control center, controllers receive an additional on-the-job
    training at the newly posted location. And once they're ready to work on their own, they’re never
    truly alone. A big focus is always on teamwork and supervision.

    Even the most experienced air traffic controller could be undermined by runaway
    emotions. That’s where self-control comes into play. Attention must also be given to the fact
    how we are taking care of our overall health. Good nutrition and a regular exercise regimen are
    among the ingredients for success in such a high-stress career. When something stressful goes
    on, you’re probably not confident and calm, but you have to train yourself to sound that way, you
    work the problem.
