00:03.529 --> 00:05.696
Challenging aspects we have up here is

00:05.696 --> 00:07.640
definitely the stress a way that I

00:07.640 --> 00:09.696
would describe air traffic control .

00:09.696 --> 00:09.529
You ever play that game where you have

00:09.539 --> 00:11.761
like the the circle of cars , you gotta

00:11.761 --> 00:13.817
try and fit 10 cars in that circle .

00:13.817 --> 00:15.872
It's a lot like that . I mean , it's

00:15.872 --> 00:15.840
ultra simplified . You have these

00:15.850 --> 00:17.906
little spaces that you gotta try and

00:17.906 --> 00:19.906
fit an aircraft in . And I describe

00:19.906 --> 00:21.961
that at , at the the simplest form ,

00:21.961 --> 00:24.183
key responsibilities . Uh So if you see

00:24.183 --> 00:26.183
the sea through over there , it's a

00:26.183 --> 00:28.350
certified tower radar display . We use

00:28.350 --> 00:30.572
that to kind of get spatial awareness .

00:30.572 --> 00:32.683
We can also look at our windows , but

00:32.683 --> 00:32.319
our key responsibilities are separating

00:32.330 --> 00:34.552
aircraft and make sure they get down to

00:34.552 --> 00:36.663
the ground safely and they're able to

00:36.663 --> 00:38.497
accomplish their mission . We do

00:38.497 --> 00:40.552
different blocks of training . So we

00:40.552 --> 00:42.497
start with front load training and

00:42.497 --> 00:42.270
that's kind of just the basics and then

00:42.279 --> 00:44.223
we move on to flight data . And so

00:44.223 --> 00:46.279
you're answering phone calls from uh

00:46.279 --> 00:48.580
the different agencies on base . We do

00:48.590 --> 00:50.757
have phraseology . You have to kind of

00:50.757 --> 00:52.939
say things by the book . There's some

00:52.950 --> 00:55.229
deviation you can do and mostly it's

00:55.240 --> 00:57.462
all like , it's all written down in our

00:57.462 --> 00:59.518
regulations . Uh And then we move to

00:59.518 --> 00:59.369
ground control where you're giving out

00:59.380 --> 01:01.047
clearances , that's where the

01:01.047 --> 01:03.102
phraseology really comes into play .

01:03.102 --> 01:05.158
There are different ways to get your

01:05.158 --> 01:04.919
point across , but there's like the set

01:04.930 --> 01:06.599
in stone ways that you gotta do a thing .
