According to Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia (CAAM), one of the most important qualities of an air traffic controller (ATC) is working well under pressure.

This is because small mistakes or delays in decision-making can lead to serious consequences, including mid-air collisions or runway incidents.

Controllers must stay calm and focused even in high-stress situations, such as bad weather, equipment failures, or sudden changes in flight plans. They also need to process large amounts of information quickly and communicate clearly with pilots and ground personnel.

The ability to remain composed under intense pressure ensures the safety and efficiency of air travel.
