How knowledgeable about flying an airplane do air traffic controllers have to be?

Asked by Brian1946 (32273points) May 27th, 2011

I just heard a report about a controller, who gave tower-to-aircraft instructions to a passenger, on how to control and land a private airplane.

Do controllers have to be qualified pilots, or do they just have to be current on basic aircraft training?
