Commercial airlines aren’t the only ones who need traffic management.
In the Navy, our fighter jets, helicopters and reconnaissance aircraft need vigilant Air Traffic Controllers to keep flight decks and airstrips in check.
As an AC, you work against moving runways, inclement weather and mechanical issues to get personnel safely to the ground.
Navy aircraft are moving all the time, so it’s your responsibility to organize air traffic and communicate critical information to pilots.
With extensive training in radar and air traffic communications, this rate is one of the easiest to translate into a civilian career post-service.
As an Air Traffic Controller, you can command the skies.
The successful operation of a flight deck on an aircraft carrier is one of the most complex, high-stakes exercises on the planet.
It’s no small task to ensure that each aircraft that leaves the flight deck performs its mission successfully and returns home safely.
Navy Air Traffic Controllers are essential in directing the everyday complexities above and below the flight deck.
Their responsibilities include:
Providing air traffic control services in air traffic control towers, radar air traffic control facilities, fleet area control and surveillance facilities and air operations ashore and afloat
Operating radio communication systems and light signals
Performing aircraft tactical duties as a flight engineer, loadmaster and/or reel operator
Executing handling duties related to the launch and recovery of Naval aircraft
Interpreting data shown on radar screens to plot aircraft positions
Operating tactical weapons, sensors and communications equipment
Working with Pilots to operate and control aircraft systems
