I worked 32 years as an Air Traffic Control Specialist. This is the sorriest excuse for a depiction of a Control Tower as I've ever seen. The only similarity to the real thing is that there were some airplanes flying around. Controllers are under a lot of stress to keep things moving on schedule but THEY DON'T PLAY RUSSIAN ROULETTE!
Know the rules. Apply them to your benefit! Develop a plan to move your traffic and stick to it. Don't get half way through a movement then try to start changing things. (that's provided of course nothing is unsafe) If your plan isn't the most efficient then do it differently next time. The biggest piece of advice I can tell you is this: NEVER EXPECT ANYBODY TO DO ANYTHING RIGHT! That way you'll never be caught standing on your heels and the only surprises you'll have are pleasant ones. Good luck and Keep Em Flying!
All the time! I hear it on the @VASAviation channel every day. I heard that most pilots are now taking off at half throttle to save on gas, so that leaves the extra umph when ATC tells you to punch it.
This is obviously a piece of theater. There have indeed been events of near collision at airports but this video is just a contrived drama. This is not realistic.
Makes sense to me, since they might as well be flying and landing every plane in sight. Hundreds of lives are in the hands of these guys from multiple planes, not just one.
Obviously a movie. An ATC tower crew with an operation that loose would be terminated then prosecuted. The take off/landing sequence at 3:15 violates too many regs to list here.
No idea. It appears to be two splices from different sources. First is military then it switches to a supposed civilian tower. The military clearance delivery is correct but the civilian part is nowhere near reality. You might ask the originator, "All Geeks TV", where he got the scenes.
this clip instead of showing the high professionalism of ATC did exactly the opposite and showed how cavaleering the ATC was, I hope it is not this way in real life.
The pilot in command always has the ultimate authority for the safe operation of the aircraft, not ATC. In this movie the landing pilot would never have asked if he still had permission to land. Assuming he was visual with the traffic taking off on the perpendicular runway and he considered it a risk he would have executed a go around regardless of ATC’s instructions.
flyingweka: " The pilot in command always has the ultimate authority" (well put) The closer to an airport you are the more dangerous it gets. Controllers are out to kill you. That`s how I always flew to keep vigilant. Don`t get me wrong, there are some good controllers out there, but never depend on them. Everybody should land at OSH a few times, during the fly-in. It`s unreal flying that close to apposing airplanes.
Absolutely, while flying in controlled airspace Pilots are required to obey ATC instructions. The exception is during an emergency. If an ATC instruction is going to kill you and your passengers you’re allowed to disregard it. There is quite a famous incident at JFK where the landing pilot was unable to accept ATC instructions and declared an emergency. ua-cam.com/video/-sQuHnrJu1I/v-deo.html
Controllers are not out to kill anyone. This is the wrong mindset. In the case of this video it is a very damning video. There is no self respecting controller that would ever do anything like this intentionally The pilot seeing the mistake and bringing it to the attention of the controller, should have made the decision to go around even if the controller insisted he land. A pilot can disobey a control instruction if they deem it necessary for the safety of the flight. The term "unable" is used to inform the controller that the instruction cannot be accepted. It is then up to the controller to formulate a different action to attain the same goal (safe, orderly, and expeditious flow of traffic through the NAS). At least it is this way in America; which as the safest air traffic systems in the world. As a controller, it is sometimes frustrating when a pilot is unable to accomplish a task but we typically try to work with the pilot to make them feel comfortable with this instruction. The controller can file a report for a possible pilot deviation but is not involved in the issuance of said citation. It is report then send to a different office. Again, I am not out to get a pilot killed. We controller have a tremendous responsibility. There are thousands of lives and billions of dollars that travel through the skyscrapers every hour of every day. There is a phrase that I think fits the point I am trying to make. "Trust but verify." Trust the controller that he/she will do their job to the best of their ability, but be vigilant and have good situational awareness. TCAS is one tool the helps pilots. It provides a cushion because mistakes do happen. It is human nature and nobody is perfect
No..you're wrong. Landing and takeoffs instructions are responsibilities of an ATC personnel. Whether to follow or not is at pilot's discretion. ATC can also issue mandatory instructions duecto safety reasons
A retired friend worked Burbank airport. He reported going down spiral stairs to bathroom with corded headset talking planes in by memory (radar screen remained in tower for some reason) because they were short staffed and no breaks. Burbank has pretty steep approach due to hills adding to stress.
As a pilot, I understand the phonic alphabet. My WTF is because this is NOT how a control tower is run. They would NEVER have intersecting runways active AT THE SAME TIME. And that is just the most ridiculous part of this dumb video that purports to show "what really happens" in a control tower.
@@realspacemodels I am an air traffic controller and work at an airport that has intersecting runways that we use daily at the same time. However, there are rules for intersecting runway operations. I am not going in to detail but I fail to see the logic or validity of your statement saying that they "never have intersecting runways active at the same time." It is a completely false statement.
Easy there Tiger. We all get it. No Controller would ever be so cavalier. There's no need for YT to pull the video. Yes it's offensively theatrical but we're all grown ups. We see that it's rubbish.
Jim Brown Don't think so. More than likely its due to utube being lax in doing their job or moderator has no knowledge of proper procedures. Utube has to be more responsible this type of thing could have dangerous repercussions.
This is WAY off, and alarming that anything like this would even be depicted this way. If I ever thought that controllers were acting in such a cavalier way, I'd make it my mission to be sure they all lost their jobs. Making a movie is fine, but this is so far away from any acceptable reality that it's just bad.
So, you think that ATC should be run the way it was depicted here? And yes, if I ever witnessed this, I would intervene and do everything possible to have them all terminated, in the interest of keeping people alive. If you think that's funny, then so be it, but that's bizarre.
Mike, I appreciate your 'need' to have controllers such as these 'terminated', but in the real world, this would never happen anyway. Oh, I'm an air traffic controller by the way - this is just laughable rubbish what you have seen in the footage - it just doesn't happen this way, but those members of the public who are ignorant to procedures, get caught up in the dramatisation of the whole thing and start thinking 'this' and 'that'. But good on you for thinking you would undertake a 'mission' to make sure 'they all lost their jobs', lol. If any of this rubbish was actually going on at my work place, we'd be filing incidents for sure, with the controllers responsible being 'stood down' pending investigation. We are actually very good at policing our own wrongdoings, because that's what 'professionals' do.
Was that's the most ridiculous movie ever. None of those situations would be allowed to occur and if they did, every controller involved would be out of a job. There's this thing called "minimum separation." The FAA is quite picky about it. P.S. The controller phraseology was not even close.
On the runway, yes. If a plane is still on the runway, minimum separation must be applied to aircraft landing behind it, on a parallel or intersecting runway, etc. Note that there are techniques a controller can use to pass responsibility onto the pilot and remove the minimum separation requirement, such as confirming if one airplane has the other in sight and then directing the following aircraft to "maintain visual separation." Once planes enter the taxiways, I'm not aware of a minimum separation required for the ground controller - they just endeavor to keep them apart and will frequently just ask them to follow each other, again putting the pilot in charge of assuring he doesn't run into the aircraft he's following.
The prime tenet of Air Traffic Control is to prevent collisions. This video makes it look like we, Controllers are here to provide collisions. And ATC is so much more than clearing to land or takeoff.
That is a nice Show to Understand the real situation in an ATC Tower , Pilots are flying thats true but Controllers are the people who are taking more and more responsibility for your flights Im XMWO PRADEEP From Sri Lanka Air Force ATC Branch.
That's bull shit! A program operating the landing and takeoff of aircraft on intersecting runways with clearances cut that close is not only unacceptable but severely dangerous. It's like the controller is playing a gambling game in his own mind. That would never be allowed I don't care how congested it gets.
This is not okay. As drama, not okay. As comedy, not okay. As satire or whatever else, not okay. It does not reflect reality, does no one any favors, mongers fear, undermines trust. Do the right thing and take it DOWN !!
And today, people swallow anything just because it's on UA-cam, Smartass. They know nothing, believe everything is a hoax or a scam, fear the world, think they need a superhero to save them wind up as a quivering mass susceptible to manipulation by the first con artist that comes alone. Also: Look at the other comments. Quite a few also have problems with this vid.
I am in complete agreement D. Geo below. This is a very dangerous video for any any young men or women viewing it. I believe that it will only serve to boost they're false sense of machismo prior to seeking a job as a controller. As an example, the wonderful "fast and furious" series of tripe produced by Hollywood. Think of all the wonderful drivers that series has produced!
All of the comments about this nonsense is spot on. As a former JFK tower controller I would like to add a few comments of my own. First it is obvious to most that this was shot in a movie set. The Windows don't even go all the way around the tower cab. This movie set bears absolutely no resemblance to the real JFK tower, or any tower anywhere. From the lead in, it is obvious that the film maker is completely un aware of the existence of en route centers, and terminal radar approach control facilities where the majority of the 15,000 dedicated air traffic controllers in the US work. Just as well. If the filmmaker is going to make videos about a subject matter they know nothing about, they should try knitting. ,
Its true that none of this is reality. There are strict separation rules in the FAA governing how close aircraft can be from one another both on the ground and the air. I am in an ATC 5 days a week (I am not a controller but instead Techops). I work on the electrical, hvac and electronics. Theres around 5000 of us (ATSS-Airway Transportation System Specialists) in the U.S.
Having listened to many ATC recordings (Kennedy Steve Abrams, we miss you!) I know that airliners are never addressed by initials as there could be confusion. It’s always “United”, “JetBlue”, “Speedbird” (for British Airways), never UA, JB etc. If you want to depict an ATC you should use the lingo.
As a real Air Traffic Controller that was one of the worst videos I've ever watched. In no way is that even close to being accurate, from the phraseology he used to the rules that were being shattered. The things he was saying didn't make any sense at all! Telling aircraft to "Line up and wait" and clearing them for takeoff in the same transmission. Those are two entirely different instructions in which he said both incorrectly. 🤣 That was absolutely brutal to watch.
The pilot always has the final Choice all pilots always needs to be aware of traffic around him if I was in the landing planes pilots spot I would have gone around
There have been some great ATC callsigns that aren't necessarily the airline names: Aer Lingus = Shamrock British Airways = Speedbird Pan Am = Clipper South African = Springbok Falcon Air Express = Panther
So fake the airport was based in JFK but when the final airplane landed after the near collision that is a violation of close aircraft you can see that there is the Sydney air traffic control tower at 6:36
Wow. Fake, fake, fake. Not even filmed in a bad tower simulator much less a real tower. Nothin, and I mean nothing other then some stock footage IS REAL. And the he CGI is laughable at best.
ATC job is boring probably 80% of the job is done by computers these days, this brings some action to it highlighting the importance and risks involved
That's pretty much it. Without the winglets, the air spills over the wingtips and generates turbulence. Adding winglets reduces that spillover and saves fuel.
It's VERY unlikely, that a member of the public will be granted permission to visit a busy international control tower. A small regional airport may allow it.
Sailor Man Yes sometimes it may be unlikely however, all it takes in Texas is a simple phone call and you schedule a time with them. In the past 2 years I have toured 3 Towers, 2 TRACON’s and one ARTCC.
This is completely throwing jet turbulence out the window here. no 2 planes can get that close and both fly away without any sort of minor or major damage. It's true that ATC's are vital to running any airport but this video is just 100% fictitious.
+AllGeeksTV why should we share this low quality content showing unrealistic things with a title saying that this is the real thing while some people on earth (including you, me and RaudelPE) know that this is fake not everybody will know this
Even the "happy ending" wouldn't have been happy. The tail wake on both aircraft would, most likely, have caused them both to crash. The landing aircraft probably would have touched down so hard that the landing gear would have been destroyed. The one taking off...it's anyone's guess where it would have landed...probably a 100 meters down the runway in a burning heap. That being said I believe with the unrealities present here these people are ready to work in Hollywood. Congrats! BTW, something very similar to this happened at Tenerife Islands in 1977. I believe it involved the biggest loss of life in aviation history.
Smhh I am a Air Traffic Controller in training and in no way should an aircraft(s) should be on the way runway at the same time nor should be any other aircraft(s) be on the runway when a aircraft is on short final you will be in court in from an Civil Aviation Authority board getting your license pulled away and facing criminal charges. I take this video very offensive to ALL other Air Traffic Controllers are the world and those wanting to chase this career goal
Oh yeah totally because that’s how Air Traffic Control works. Let me just run two perpendicular runways that intersect at the same time that close together.
One thing I noticed right away was the makers of this video used the wrong clock in the tower. It should have been a twenty-four hour clock or a digital clock that showed the time as 14:22 not 2:22. I know this is but one if many errors!
about 3were found asleep on the job they couldn't
wake them up. fact air traffic control lost control.
I worked 32 years as an Air Traffic Control Specialist. This is the sorriest excuse for a depiction of a Control Tower as I've ever seen.

hmort55 as a new ATC any advice?
Air traffic control employees have a difficult accent every time. Why do not they speak clearly?
Know the rules. Apply them to your benefit! Develop a plan to move your traffic and stick to it. Don't get half way through a movement then try to start changing things. (that's provided of course nothing is unsafe) If your plan isn't the most efficient then do it differently next time.

So this is how Doctors, Lawyers and Secret Agents feel like when they watch a Shonda Rhimes series. Got it! HAHAHAHA

Nope bro planes don't takeoff on 100% thrust :)
100% accurate. I hear "punch it" everyday I fly, don't you?

Why didn't the pilot do a go around
Fun fact: ATC gets paid more than Airliner Pilots most of the time.
Well deserved from my view...
Makes sense to me, since they might as well be flying and landing every plane in sight. Hundreds of lives are in the hands of these guys from multiple planes, not just one.
.... The pilot is blind without them... Therefore they paid them a lot

that's not what we call it mate, according to this vid, when we want to take off, we 'punch it' 6:20 ;'D

Again, I am not out to get a pilot killed. We controller have a tremendous responsibility. There are thousands of lives and billions of dollars that travel through the skyscrapers every hour of every day.
There is a phrase that I think fits the point I am trying to make. "Trust but verify." Trust the controller that he/she will do their job to the best of their ability, but be vigilant and have good situational awareness. TCAS is one tool the helps pilots. It provides a cushion because mistakes do happen. It is human nature and nobody is perfect
No..you're wrong. Landing and takeoffs instructions are responsibilities of an ATC personnel. Whether to follow or not is at pilot's discretion. ATC can also issue mandatory instructions duecto safety reasons
Well okay yeah the PIC is the final authority but idk if I'd question somebody at JFK because I'd just end up in a hold for 45 minutes.

Took the AFQT and I'm considering choosing ATC as one possible career. I'm excited to push myself and see where my future takes me!
The pilot always has the final Choice all pilots always needs to be aware of traffic around him if I was in the landing planes pilots spot I would have gone around
With an ATC like that I'd have tried a different airport all together...
Yeah if I was landing the plane I would ask to divert to an airspace with traffic controller who knows what the hell they’re doing...
بہت خوب بہت خوب۔۔۔ کیا بات ہے جی۔۔۔
dont get it, they on final and go full throttle causing the gear to go down?!?
ChickenAviation101 yes, that's how it all works.
capnskiddies tell me about it 😂
the world of 1 starred thrillers
no that was just what was going down in the departing plane (the blue one) i think, while the gear extension was on the landing plane ( the red one)
nevermind, hadn't watched the full video, movie is stupid
Wow.... it was so cool I love it thank you for this vedio
by the way all the controllers call out the airline's name. They never spell it out and even if they do, they use phonetics
There have been some great ATC callsigns that aren't necessarily the airline names:
Aer Lingus = Shamrock
British Airways = Speedbird
Pan Am = Clipper
South African = Springbok
Falcon Air Express = Panther
Ok so the pilots dont need clearence to go around, if they knew that other aircraft was so close, real pilots would call it and go around
its easy to avoid the thing just say "AA314159 GO DA FRAK AROUND".
So Daario Naharis became an ATC after Daenerys left him.
"Request landing clearance" NOOO you never ever request a landing clearance... please, guys..
Not "inside Air Traffic Control." Inside somebody's imagination--no similarity to reality.
So fake the airport was based in JFK but when the final airplane landed after the near collision that is a violation of close aircraft you can see that there is the Sydney air traffic control tower at 6:36
Wow. Fake, fake, fake. Not even filmed in a bad tower simulator much less a real tower. Nothin, and I mean nothing other then some stock footage IS REAL. And the he CGI is laughable at best.
Looks like they filmed it in a ramp tower (they are run by the airlines and handle activity within the gate area, no ATC).
Efoxx ok its MOVIEE
This movie needs an ILS , and quick. A total 7500
No offense, dude, but I seriously doubt you "shot" any of this. You barely edited it.
It's from the movie "2:22"
What movie is this from? Looks like a good one and I’d like to see it!
Did I see squawk code 7777 on that final plane?
Nice story.
Not that 7777 has any special significance as a squawk code. Try 7700, 7600 or 7500.
"Emergency" "Radio issues" and "Hijacking" lmao
what a superb video boy what a great video mind blowing don't have words to say brilliantly played. 👍👍👍
So this what Daario naharis is doing these days
he got bored being left in Mereen
ATC job is boring probably 80% of the job is done by computers these days, this brings some action to it highlighting the importance and risks involved
Little mistake can take hundreds of souls.
They are legend and Brilliant in Mind.
YOU'RE FIRED!!!
Everything said so far is correct. I just hate the verbiage being used and how he was talking into a phone.
Correct. It's not real and that's not how's its done.
The little winglets on the outboard wing ends, are they supposed to reduce wing turbulence?
That's pretty much it. Without the winglets, the air spills over the wingtips and generates turbulence. Adding winglets reduces that spillover and saves fuel.
What kind of crap is this? This has nothing to do with reality
23-year-old non-pilot, non-ATC putting this depiction down as a definite immediate firing and prison sentence.
Movie is " 2 : 22 "
Anthony Haven yes 100%, search on imdb and look for 2:22 and (dutch) actor Michiel Huisman, he is in it and the reason i recognized it.👍
Pilots logic of this video
ATC: Airforce 1 clear to land on pentagon.
Airforce 1: Lands on pentagon
I want to be one of them someday
They had the worlds worst aviation consultant
That’s false you can call the tower and schedule a visit
It's VERY unlikely, that a member of the public will be granted permission to visit a busy international control tower. A small regional airport may allow it.
Sailor Man Yes sometimes it may be unlikely however, all it takes in Texas is a simple phone call and you schedule a time with them. In the past 2 years I have toured 3 Towers, 2 TRACON’s and one ARTCC.
I visited Potomac TRACON.
This is completely throwing jet turbulence out the window here. no 2 planes can get that close and both fly away without any sort of minor or major damage. It's true that ATC's are vital to running any airport but this video is just 100% fictitious.
hello, one part of the video is from a movie? thanks
What movie is it from?
Sha Dow 2:22
This is a clip from the movie “2:22” which you can check out on IMDB www.imdb.com/title/tt1131724/
ua-cam.com/video/YzV9QjP84m8/v-deo.html
+AllGeeksTV why should we share this low quality content showing unrealistic things with a title saying that this is the real thing while some people on earth (including you, me and RaudelPE) know that this is fake not everybody will know this
Even the "happy ending" wouldn't have been happy. The tail wake on both aircraft would, most likely, have caused them both to crash. The landing aircraft probably would have touched down so hard that the landing gear would have been destroyed. The one taking off...it's anyone's guess where it would have landed...probably a 100 meters down the runway in a burning heap.
That being said I believe with the unrealities present here these people are ready to work in Hollywood. Congrats!
BTW, something very similar to this happened at Tenerife Islands in 1977. I believe it involved the biggest loss of life in aviation history.
Oh my god. This is laughable.
Smhh I am a Air Traffic Controller in training and in no way should an aircraft(s) should be on the way runway at the same time nor should be any other aircraft(s) be on the runway when a aircraft is on short final you will be in court in from an Civil Aviation Authority board getting your license pulled away and facing criminal charges. I take this video very offensive to ALL other Air Traffic Controllers are the world and those wanting to chase this career goal
Oh, wow............ It's the cool hipster show replete with hipster attitude and syntax. Count me way out.
no way! too many safe guards to keep that from happening
And then he was fired, and charged criminally with several hundred counts of reckless endangerment...
"GA950, Punch It."
- Boss
Oh yeah totally because that’s how Air Traffic Control works. Let me just run two perpendicular runways that intersect at the same time that close together.
Wind direction? Not important!
FAA - "Knock Knock"
ATC people - "Who's there?"
FAA - "The FAA"
ATC people - "FAA who?"
FAA - "The FAA that's going to take your jobs"
It's from a movie and two aircraft did impact each other.
😆" YOU'RE FIRED! "
It’s very stressful job, falls under top 10 most stressful jobs in the world, this is also the reasons why they get paid a lot from start
One thing I noticed right away was the makers of this video used the wrong clock in the tower. It should have been a twenty-four hour clock or a digital clock that showed the time as 14:22 not 2:22. I know this is but one if many errors!
