Do you have the potential to become and air traffic controller? – Test your ATC skills

In order to introduce the world of ATC to potential air traffic control trainees, the Deutsche Flugsicherung [DFS] have put a number of games / tests online for free.

These tests are fun to do and give a good insight of some of the skills one needs to become an air traffic controller including:

  • Continously splitting attention over a number of task – whilst maintaining an overall picture.
  • Extrapolation of spacial position and conflict resolution through turning [vectoring] of aircraft.
  • Memory
  • Appreciation of left and right turns
  • Etc.

Have a look at these games and tests, I am sure you’ll like them.

My favourite is Pushing Thin [comes with an addiction warning]

Well done to DFS. Great inititive and great tests!
