What's inside Sydney's Air Traffic Control Tower? What's the view like? Who works there? How do they land planes? I get special access INSIDE the high security ATC Tower and talk to Controllers managing live aircraft at Sydney Airport.
Thanks to Airservices Australia for offering me the chance to show you what it's like in the cab at the top of the air traffic control tower. See How Air Traffic Control Works and What It Takes To Be An Air Traffic Controller. Could you be an air traffic controller? For more information on careers as an ATC check out the Airservices Australia website.

@seamusmcmahon3606 3 года назад

Stef, I watch a lot of aviation channels. What stands out to me about yours, as a low hour (200-300) SR22 pilot, is how much you teach us all, through your humility and exploration. No wonder your channel has overtaken some other entertaining, but "look at me" aviators. You've got the real "wings" mate.

@Agent44996 3 года назад

Sydney's tower is definitely one of my favourites! It's so unique and recognisable, take one look and you'll immediately say "Ah yep, that's good ol' Sydney!".

Very interesting and informative. As a young airport engineer, many years ago, I spent quite a bit of time in Control Towers. More recently my flying school organised a visit. Despite all that, I continue to be amazed. Great learning for all pilots. Cheers Stefan.

@JulioRicardoMontiel 3 года назад

Another Great Job Stefan, Those guys at YSSY are great guys, we landed on a 172 first time early this year, the Sydney tower personnel were so helpful and extremely kind to accommodate us (GA pilots) to flight in and out of Sydney. I hope to flight to Melbourne soon and other major cities in Oz as soon as covid goes. PS I can wait to see you flight around the world keep us posted.

Really good video. One signature structure that has always fascinated me driving past any airport is the rotating radar dish. They always seemed to be moving 30% faster than a huge metal contraption like that should be. Like a fairground ride where the operator has slumped over on the dead-man’s lever.

Of course the air traffic controllers would not be stressed out working at Sydney airport. The airport is not even busy. It seems that they just lounging around and take things they comes with ease.
