Good Listening: DAB Tower

February 12, 2011 Leave a Comment

One of my buddies went flying out of Daytona Beach airport last week. After hearing his stories of the overly busy ground controller and the local controller in training, I had to download the air traffic control recording.

There is a lot to be learned by listening to someone who is learning… Listen to how the controller-in-training works with pilots and pay attention to when his trainer helps him out.

Attached is a 30 minute clip of the 7R local controller from LiveATC:
DAB Tower (Secondary), Feb 9th, 2011, 16:30z-16:59z

I recommend fast forwarding about 19 minutes into the recording.

About Joe Anderson
Originally from Juneau, Alaska, I get the best of both worlds: Alaska and Florida. I’m going to school to study Air Traffic Management — a dream-come-true. I’m also minoring in Meteorology, Business Administration, and will also have my Airline Dispatch Certificate. I started working in a multifaceted inn and bakery, The Silverbow, when I was 16. Working there has changed my life; it has given me many new outlooks on myself, other people, and have given me the chance to do something most kids my age could never do. After high school, I decided to take one year off. I knew what I wanted to do, but I wasn’t ready to do it yet. One year turned into two before I finally applied to Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. In July 2008, I packed everything I owned and moved to Daytona Beach, Florida. My mom did the same; she packed up and moved in with my grandparents in Ocala, Florida. In late-2005, my mom was diagnosed with sarcoma cancer in her hip. After a hip-replacement, leg amputation, and over two years of surviving, she passed in October 2008. I miss her dearly, but am glad to have had the time that I did get to spend with her. Since then, I have continued to be an incredibly independent, motivated, and hard-working student. My life revolves around hard work and respect for everyone.
