About this game

In this simulation game, you are the air traffic controller at the radar of a busy airport. The goal is to guide the airplanes safely towards the runway (using ILS approaches) to get a high score. If you make no errors, the number of planes you have to control gets greater and greater. How many flights at a time can you manage?

The game is minimalistic, yet realistic. The radar screen may look complicated at first, so please read the instructions in-game if you're unfamiliar with aviation. The game is in English only.

Instructions
Select a plane, send it to a lower altitude (about 2000 feet), guide it to the blue ILS line at a large distance from the runway, and clear it for approach by enabling ILS mode, which means the plane will follow the line to the runway (make sure that the plane captures the blue line at a shallow angle).

For each plane you lead to the runway, you gain skill points, and the more skill points, the more planes will enter the airspace. Departing aircraft determine their heading and speed themselves; they only require an instruction to climb to a higher altitude. When you make mistakes, the skill level goes down a bit. Some planes have an additional 'RD' tag; these planes should land on the secondary 'RD' airport. When landing at parallel runways, make sure both planes are 1000 feet vertically separated until both planes are on their localizer.

Ratings and reviews

Broke my expectations in every way. It's not too hard to learn but it's fun and realistic. Thanks to it's simple nature and lack of a menu screen, it is ready to play the second you open it, and it saves where you were when you close it, making it a great pick for short waits that might not be more than 5 minutes. The only reason for four stars rather than five is that the game needs more and better tutorials. Had the game for 2 weeks and I'm still discovering new features!

Wow! This is a really well done game for mobile. It's fast paced like you'd expect from the real airport. Takes a lot of multitasking to keep separation. Stressful, but fun! NOTE: Out of the box, this game isn't very beginner friendly at all. If you have little to no knowledge about air traffic control, this will be very frustrating for you. If you're genuinely interested in learning, look up some videos. Plenty of great tutorials out there.

Simple game with fairly simple controls. Requires a bit of air traffic knowledge, but users should be able to figure them out within the first few minutes. As you get better, your score increases, and the number of planes transiting through your airspace increases as well as the number of runways, and ramps back down if you start losing control. Keeps the game challenging. Not all aircraft are created equal! Watch out for heavys and supers, as their wake turbulence will throw off smaller planes behind them if they are too close.
