Aims College Debuts Air Traffic Control Program

Aims Community Colleges new air traffic control program, led by retired controller Patti Phillips, is set to graduate its first student, Aiden Rowe, who will join the FAAs ranks without the traditional Oklahoma City academy. The program, which replicates FAA academy training using high-tech simulators, aims to address the looming shortage of air traffic controllers. Students like Rowe and Kristen Smith, who switched from piloting, are drawn to the high-stakes multitasking and public service aspects of the job. The program, which meets all FAA safety requirements, has undergone rigorous preparation and will produce well-equipped graduates ready to fill the critical gap in the air traffic control industry.
