On Monday 6 August, Ms Taylor came in to talk to us about air traffic controlling, and how air traffic controllers communicate. They use radar and satellites to communicate. They have a special alphabet that the pilots and the air traffic controllers use - it is called the phonetic alphabet and some examples are Charlie for C and India for I and Tango for T. They use it for the planes' call signs. It is important that they communicate right so that the planes don't collide or crash. It was really interesting listening to Mrs Taylor and seeing the information on her computer through the data projector. You have to be 21 to be an air traffic controller, but you can start training at 19.
