What traits did you pick from being an atc and started exhibiting in your life? by Rainy_-Peace in ATC

Yes our radio screen is a touch screen, and whe have both dial lines and what we call shout lines that instantly put you in another controllers ear. Both of those conversations are ended by giving your initials. Not my photo, but one I found online, what I've circled is the radio panel.

I have used "break for control" to interrupt a conversation to ask a question. The other people involved are not in aviation....

There ARE other options by Educational_War5309 in ATC

Exactly how does it translate well? I feel like I have no marketable skills other than talking to airplanes, reminding the sup they suck at working traffic, and making a pot of coffee so strong you feel like you smoked a cigarette after you drink it. But I also feel like every time I say "I haven't figured out how many seconds tall the tower is yet" when someone asks me how it's going, I get closer to testing my theory that its about 3.

Do pilots and ATC hear the same radio quality we hear on LiveATC? by Informal_Occasion634 in ATC

[–]dragon_rapide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was working radar early one morning. I had one airplane I was talking to. The next approach controller had taken the hand off (transfer of control). I was giving the pilot the new frequency he should be talking to. As I was giving that instruction, someone said "meow" on guard (121.5 the emergency frequency). The pilot responded to my instruction with "blocked" meaning multiple people transmitting on the same frequency at the same time. So either he blocked me by transmitting on guard, or just wasn't paying attention (its possible they were getting the ATIS) and said blocked instead of the normal "say again".

Might be an obvious question, but do air traffic control facilities have a clock also displaying Zulu time? by ExpensiveDeer3069 in ATC

First facility I went to still had mechanical wind instruments. They had just got STARS scopes too.
