Thought i'd share for all the ATC fanboys and girls out there

Description: Tokyo's Haneda Airport is the busiest airport in Japan with 1 airplane taking off and landing every 2 minutes. In a year, 6 billion people (an average of 170,000 people a day) pass through the airport. Shinoda Kaori (Fukada Kyoko) is a new air traffic controller. It is an extremely stressful and difficult job where a split-second?s error in judgment can cause a catastrophic incident. Kaori had originally been a ground staff at the airport with an ambition to become an air traffic controller who directs the aircraft of all airlines, but an incident spurs her to resign and take the national exam. After completing rigorous training at the air navigation security college, she is assigned to Haneda Airport?s Air Traffic Control Centre as an air traffic controller just before she turns 30. When she gets up to the control tower with a mixture of nervousness, excitement and anxiety, the people she sees are a group of professionals who remain calm in the face of emergencies and protect human lives. Kaori guides aircraft with veteran air controller Takeuchi Hiromi (Seto Asaka) for on-the-job training. Because of a little careless mistake that she makes, and incident occurs that is a step short of an accident. She gets discouraged, but no one scolds her for the mistake she made which makes her feel even worse. However, she listens to the feelings of Yuki Noboru (Tokito Saburo) and Kondo Yukihiro (Kaname Jun) as air traffic controllers and gradually pulls herself together.

Someone's getting their millions and billions mixed up again.

It'd be interesting, to say the least, to have 6 billion bods get stuffed through Haneda in a given year!!

Spent many a fond day at Haneda during my youth, when it was the international airport for Tokyo. There was a fantastic little restaurant there that served the best cucumber sandwiches.

1 aircraft takes off and lands every 2 minutes? That's a bl00dy tight circuit for an airliner!

"Depending on the make and model, aircraft react differently to wind and speed. Do you take those things into consideration?"

"Of course I don't"

I miss Japan. It's an awesome place to live.
Even when I visit I find it hard to leave again.
