About This Exam

1C151 Air Traffic Control Journeyman Overview

Who It's For

The 1C151 Air Traffic Control Journeyman SKT is for Senior Airmen in ATC testing for promotion to Staff Sergeant. The official test demands command of radar separation standards, IFR clearance issuance, parallel runway operations, ASDE-X surface awareness, NOTAMs, emergency response, sector handoffs, shift-change turnover briefings, and the standard phraseology codified in FAAO 7110.65 and AFI 13-204.

Each question is mapped to a specific EWorld objective so you can drill into the procedures and decision points that move your line number — not waste study hours on positions you work daily.

How It's Different

Air Traffic Control SKTs reward deep procedural recall — exact phraseology, separation minima, and the right tool for the right operational context. PowerKram's chapter-level study lets you isolate a single domain (ground control, tower, RAPCON, emergency procedures) and drill until you can recite the procedures cold.

With your 24-hour free trial, you get full access to the question library and the analytics that show you exactly which CDC sections need another pass — without entering a credit card.

Why Source-Linked Matters

Every question links to its exact CDC volume, AFI section, or FAAO reference. When you miss a question on parallel approach procedures or NOTAM purpose, you don't just see "wrong" — you see the source so you can read the underlying procedure and understand why.

This is the defining difference between PowerKram and dump-based study sites: every answer is auditable and tied to the doctrine you're tested on.

How Chapter-Level Study Works

Study Smart, Not Long

Every question is tagged to a specific EWorld objective, so you can pinpoint weak areas and focus your study time where it actually moves your line number.

01

Diagnose

Take a full-length exam in Exam Mode. The engine scores your performance by objective, exposing exactly which CDC sections and ATC domains you've mastered and which need work.

02

Drill

Switch to Learn Mode and filter questions to your weak objectives only. Get immediate feedback and source links so you read the underlying CDC or FAAO material that explains each answer.

03

Re-Test

Retake full-length exams to confirm mastery. Track your objective-level scores over time so you walk into the testing center knowing exactly where you stand.

Sample Questions

Ten questions drawn from the 1C151 Air Traffic Control Journeyman practice exam. Tap any question to reveal the answer choices and source-linked explanation.

Q01 Separation · Radar

A journeyman is managing aircraft during peak traffic hours.

What action ensures safe sequencing?

  • AUse visual separation only
  • BDelay all departures
  • CApply radar separation standards
  • DIgnore altitude conflicts
Explanation Radar separation ensures safe spacing between aircraft, especially during high-density operations.
Q02 Emergency · Engine Failure

A controller receives a distress call from an aircraft with engine failure.

What is the immediate priority?

  • ANotify base commander
  • BClear airspace and provide emergency vectors
  • CRequest aircraft ID
  • DLog the incident
Explanation Clearing airspace and guiding the aircraft ensures safety and rapid response.
Q03 Phraseology · Ground Control

A journeyman is coordinating with ground control during taxi operations.

What phraseology ensures clarity?

  • A"Go ahead"
  • B"Proceed as you wish"
  • C"Taxi via assigned route"
  • D"Move now"
Explanation Standard phraseology like "Taxi via assigned route" prevents confusion and maintains procedural integrity.
Q04 Parallel Approaches · PAR

A controller is managing simultaneous arrivals on parallel runways.

What tool supports safe operations?

  • AVisual flight rules
  • BRunway incursion alarms
  • CPrecision approach radar
  • DWake turbulence charts
Explanation Precision approach radar helps maintain separation and alignment during parallel approaches.
Q05 IFR Clearances

A journeyman is issuing a clearance for IFR departure.

What must be included?

  • AWeather forecast
  • BAssigned altitude and route
  • CFuel status
  • DCrew manifest
Explanation Altitude and route are required for IFR clearance to ensure safe navigation.
Q06 Altitude Deviation · Response

A controller notices an aircraft deviating from its assigned altitude.

What is the correct response?

  • AIgnore unless requested
  • BImmediately issue corrective instructions
  • CWait for pilot to report
  • DNotify maintenance
Explanation Issuing corrective instructions maintains separation and prevents conflicts.
Q07 NOTAMs · Pilot Notification

A journeyman is briefing a new Airman on NOTAMs.

What is the purpose of a NOTAM?

  • ATrack aircraft maintenance
  • BNotify pilots of temporary changes or hazards
  • CRecord flight hours
  • DAuthorize aircraft purchases
Explanation NOTAMs (Notices to Airmen) inform pilots of temporary conditions affecting flight safety or procedures — runway closures, navaid outages, airspace restrictions, and other time-sensitive operational hazards.
Q08 Surface Awareness · ASDE-X

A controller is managing aircraft during low visibility.

What system enhances situational awareness?

  • AVOR
  • BASDE-X
  • CTACAN
  • DADS-B
Explanation ASDE-X (Airport Surface Detection Equipment, Model X) is the surveillance system specifically designed to enhance controller situational awareness on the airport surface during low-visibility conditions, integrating surface radar, multilateration, and ADS-B inputs to track aircraft and vehicles. VOR and TACAN are aircraft navigation aids; ADS-B alone supports en-route surveillance but doesn't provide the integrated airport-surface picture that ASDE-X delivers.
Q09 Sector Handoff · Coordination

A journeyman is coordinating handoff between control sectors.

What ensures smooth transition?

  • AUse of standard phraseology and radar identification
  • BVerbal confirmation only
  • CPilot self-reporting
  • DVisual hand signals
Explanation Standard phraseology and radar ID ensure seamless coordination between sectors.
Q10 Shift Change · Turnover Briefing

A controller is preparing for a shift change.

What must be included in the turnover briefing?

  • APersonal opinions
  • BWeather updates, traffic flow, and equipment status
  • CFitness scores
  • DUniform inspection results
Explanation Operational updates ensure continuity and situational awareness for the incoming controller.
