Inside Australia's BUSIEST Control Tower!

What's inside Sydney's Air Traffic Control Tower? What's the view like? Who works there? How do they land planes? I get special access INSIDE the high security ATC Tower and talk to Controllers managing live aircraft at Sydney Airport.

Thanks to Airservices Australia for offering me the chance to show you what it's like in the cab at the top of the air traffic control tower. See How Air Traffic Control Works and What It Takes To Be An Air Traffic Controller. Could you be an air traffic controller? For more information on careers as an ATC check out the Airservices Australia website.

I fly for AirAsia X and we always fly into SYD during pre-Covid days. SYD controllers are some of the nicest in Australia. Some of them would actually greet us in our native language. Glad to see the friendly faces behind the voices. Great vid Stef!

I was looking forward to this one, quite an interesting tower design.

6 mins ago!! dude!!!! As a private pilot I know you have already heard the chatter on the radio but being in the ATC tower is a whole nother level!!

Thanks to Airservices for inviting Stef, thank you Stef for taking us with you 👍
I also enjoyed your video with ATC at Hamilton Island as well 😊

[simwings]

Loved this one Stef! It’s great to see the behind the scenes work in the tower!

[colinpotter]

He could never work in the USA as I can understand every word he says.

Sydney's tower is definitely one of my favourites! It's so unique and recognisable, take one look and you'll immediately say "Ah yep, that's good ol' Sydney!".

[philipguacci]

Thanks Stef. And a big thanks to Air Services Australia. We know how security would make it nearly impossible for most of us. So glad they reached out to you ❤. We would happily watch more. Cheers.

As a teen. I got to see the ATC tower . It was amazing, but I loved the radar room even more!

[seamusmcmahon]

Stef, I watch a lot of aviation channels. What stands out to me about yours, as a low hour (200-300) SR22 pilot, is how much you teach us all, through your humility and exploration. No wonder your channel has overtaken some other entertaining, but "look at me" aviators. You've got the real "wings" mate.

[lisasutherland-fraser]

Fabulous! Don’t know how the hell they do it. Too much going on! I’d be happy sitting up there all day watching movements. Thanks Stefan! X

Another Great Job Stefan, Those guys at YSSY are great guys, we landed on a 172 first time early this year, the Sydney tower personnel were so helpful and extremely kind to accommodate us (GA pilots) to flight in and out of Sydney. I hope to flight to Melbourne soon and other major cities in Oz as soon as covid goes. PS I can wait to see you flight around the world keep us posted.

Thanks Stef! Really enjoyed seeing inside the tower and how they operate. This is my dream job, but unfortunately at 46 years old, I think it's a bit late for me. Not to mention having to train in Melbourne when I live in Perth 😕

[FranksMSFlightSimulator]

Very interesting and informative. As a young airport engineer, many years ago, I spent quite a bit of time in Control Towers. More recently my flying school organised a visit. Despite all that, I continue to be amazed. Great learning for all pilots. Cheers Stefan.

Hey Stef, another great video!

As a YMMB pilot, can you do ATC @ YMMB? I would love to see the faces behind the voices I hear in my ear on a regular basis.

“Wangled” haven’t heard that word in a while hahaha but on a serious note excellent video Stef! Really gives an insight to student pilots and experienced pilots to what life is like on a different side of aviation! Loving these contents!

[SpeedRacer-rxnn]

My name is Daniel in Adelaide, I'm watching your video and having a great time! Always follow your channel, keep it up

[liveandletflyatc]

Awesome video! Very informative! It is great to see how ATC works around the planet. This was the first tower video ever that I have seen from Australia! Cool!

[albertbatfinder]

Really good video. One signature structure that has always fascinated me driving past any airport is the rotating radar dish. They always seemed to be moving 30% faster than a huge metal contraption like that should be. Like a fairground ride where the operator has slumped over on the dead-man’s lever.

Lucky bugger. Still miss the days of being able to visit the cockpit… had a friend get to sit in jump seat on descent and landing into perth back in the 90s.
