Welcome to David McMillan's ATC Home Page.  

I'm an air traffic controller at Melbourne Centre, Victoria, Australia.  

From here I control the air traffic around Perth, Western Australia, 2000 miles away, using The Australian Advanced Air Traffic System (TAAATS).

In 1999 I completed my Master of Education (Adult and Workplace Education) at the Queensland University of Technology.  My dissertation, Miscommunications in Air Traffic Control, is available in pdf format (about 300kb) for you to read here.

When I'm not at work I ride my Moto Guzzi Metal Stone with the Macedon Ranges Ulysses Group, a branch of the Ulysses Club of Australia.

In my spare time I'm tracing my family tree.  Currently I'm back to Scotland in the early 1800's; part of it is displayed here.
