http://www.eurocontrol.int/gallery/design/content/spacer.gifThere are two main types of air traffic controllers: http://www.eurocontrol.int/gallery/design/content/spacer.giftower controllers (who ensure the safe landing, departure and taxiing of aircraft at airports) and

area (or en-route) controllers (who ensure the safe and smooth flow of traffic along airways at higher altitudes).
http://www.eurocontrol.int/gallery/design/content/spacer.gifhttp://www.eurocontrol.int/gallery/design/content/spacer.gifhttp://www.eurocontrol.int/gallery/design/content/spacer.gifSince we are an en-route air traffic control centre (we control aircraft at high altitudes), there are no tower controllers at EUROCONTROL’s Maastricht Upper Area Control Centre.

http://www.eurocontrol.int/gallery/design/content/spacer.gifAs an air traffic controller, your job will be to ensure that aircraft fly safely apart from each other. To achieve this, a minimum of 1,000 feet vertically or 5 nautical miles laterally is maintained between aircraft. Although safety is the top priority of air traffic controllers, the job does not stop there.

With air traffic growing every year, it is crucial that aircraft fly as smoothly as possible, with maximum punctuality. This is also done by air traffic controllers. http://www.eurocontrol.int/gallery/design/content/spacer.gifhttp://www.eurocontrol.int/gallery/design/content/spacer.gifhttp://www.eurocontrol.int/gallery/design/content/spacer.gifControllers at Maastricht work in a control room, on what are known as “sectors”. A sector is a portion of airspace under the responsibility of a team of two or three controllers.

Their tools are radar screens (displaying radar and flight data information), a radiotelephony system, telephones and computers.

Specific skills (http://www.eurocontrol.int/muac/public/standard_page/atco_careers_skills.html) and training (http://www.eurocontrol.int/muac/public/standard_page/atco_careers_training.html) are required to work in a safety-critical environment.
