1
With me on Careers Talk is Jake Watson, who's an air traffic controller, making sure planes take off and land safely at a busy airport.
2
Jake, welcome.
3
We've got many questions emailed by our teenage listeners.
4
OK.
5
First, Sarah asks what you find challenging about your job.
6
The job's extremely interesting, but it's not easy.
7
Obviously, it involves keeping radio contact with aircraft and directing their movements.
8
I also have to provide information to pilots about weather conditions, for example, so there's a lot involved.
9
I get to use advanced radio communication to maintain contact with pilots.
10
I also speak to air authorities to make sure planes pass safely through their airspace.
11
And it's when I have to deal with all this at once that I'm really stretched.
12
Ben asks how you ended up doing such an unusual job.
13
I've always loved being around airports.
14
After graduating in aircraft engineering, I got my private pilot's licence.
15
I'd always wanted to become a commercial pilot.
16
But then I was offered a job in aircraft maintenance.
17
That was pressured at times, so it was good training.
18
And I was lucky enough to be getting a good salary.
19
But after a while, it became a bit routine, so I started looking at what else was available and saw the job advertised.
20
Samantha wants to know how hard it was to get the job.
21
The selection process was tough.
22
I was given lots of tasks, like problem solving to test my analytical skills, which I'd been nervous about.
23
To my surprise, I had no problems with them.
24
I've always been good at math, which probably helped.
25
Actually, I thought math would be a basic necessity for this work and that doing the job would make me even better at it.
26
In fact, only straightforward calculations are involved.
27
Anyway, I got through.
28
Peter asks how you felt when you first took charge of landing a plane without any help.
29
Yes, well, as a trainee, you're used to having someone listening to you when you're talking to pilots, but eventually you have to do it alone, of course.
30
My instructors assured me that I'd had all the necessary preparation.
31
I wasn't convinced, but in fact the whole thing happened almost without me realising it.
32
I'd been so absorbed in what I was doing, it was only afterwards that I remembered no one had been there checking up on me.
33
So it was fine.
34
B asks what air controllers do when the weather's foggy.
35
Well, they airport's near a river, so some days everything's covered in dense fog.
36
Then the regular buzz of activity dies down, and there's just screens lighting up with wind speed reports and so on, which we still keep a close eye on.
37
It doesn't mean we can relax completely.
38
The fog can hang around for hours or clear within minutes.
39
We make the most of those times when we're not dealing with 50 planes an hour, though.
40
Now, a question from Richard.
41
Are you aware of how much people hate flight delays?
42
Well, controllers actually work to speed up flight departures, but I realise why people get frustrated when flights are running late.
43
I know from experience, though, that it doesn't do any good.
44
I do sometimes feel sorry for passengers, but the delay in departure schedules isn't something I let myself get concerned about up in the control tower.
45
The departure times are decided according to the routes aircraft take, among other things, but that's hard to get that over to passengers.
46
Finally, I read that air traffic controllers recently helped out with an air display at the airport.
47
How did that go?
48
Really well.
49
We'd spent several months preparing for it.
50
It was amazing how little disruption there was to flights.
51
My job was talking to helicopter pilots filming the display, as well as monitoring other aircraft at the show.
52
I hadn't expected to see quite such big crowds.
53
It was certainly a satisfying feeling when it was over, and nothing had gone wrong.
54
Thanks, Jake.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?
Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
