Where a air traffic controller can go next

5 destinations recorded, ranked by how much of the target role a air traffic controller already meets. The closer to the top of Table 1, the less there is to learn.

Air traffic controllers assist pilots by providing information concerning the height, speed and course. They assist pilots in order to facilitate a safe take off and landing of aircrafts. They are responsible for maintaining a secure and orderly movement of aircraft along major air routes up in the sky and around airports. They control air traffic in and within vicinity of airports according to established procedures and policies to prevent collisions and to minimise delays arising from traffic congestion.

Note

How these figures were compiled

Coverage is the share of the target role’s weighted skill requirement a air traffic controller already meets, counting required skills in full and supplementary ones at 0.35. It is directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. Every entry above opens the full comparison for that move: what carries over, what is missing, and where to start. The full method.
