Air traffic controllers are responsible for safe flight travel. They direct pilots on landing, taking off, and flying routes. Most of the time the controllers use a radar screen to monitor flight patterns.

To become an air traffic controller, one must first attend college for instructional education. After graduating, students then attend hand-on training at the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) headquarters in Oklahoma. Demonstrating skills and passing required tests are necessary to become fully certified.
