Download Air Traffic Controller Resume Samples

Key Result Areas: 

• Manage the flow of airplanes in and out of the airport, guide pilots during takeoff and landing, and monitor airplanes as they travel through the skies; manage multiple airplanes 
• Check flight plans, give pilots clearance for takeoff or landing, and direct the movement of planes on the runways and other parts of the airport 
• Sequence the arrival and departure of airplanes, guide pilots during takeoff and landing, and use radar equipment to monitor flight paths 
• Provide pilots with information on weather conditions; monitor airplanes once they leave an airport’s airspace 
• Look for traffic patterns that could create bottlenecks in the system 
• Keep traffic levels manageable for the airport and for en route controllers 
• Move all aircraft safely and efficiently through their assigned sector of airspace 
• Communicate with the pilots of aircraft using a push-to-talk radiotelephony system 
• Control aircraft within the immediate vicinity of the airport and use visual observation from the airport tower 
• Update pilots of hazardous conditions prior to and during flights, including visibility, weather and wind concerns when necessary; maintain consistent ground traffic pattern for continual flow of departing and arriving flights 
• Redirect flight path of aircraft or redirect to a temporary landing facility to avoid hazardous conditions when necessary 
• Direct pilots, land crews and airport emergency services toward cleared landing space in the event an airplane is experiencing difficulties, or in the event of an actual crash at the airport or elsewhere 
• Monitor air space traffic using radar, computer and other air traffic control equipment to keep airplanes departing and arriving on time and to maximize air and ground safety 
• Turn over air traffic control to appropriate centers once airplanes leave designated air space, and accept new air traffic that enters into designated air space 
• Initiate searches for aircrafts that drop or veer off radar and go missing
