About this game

No ads. No coins. No accounts. Just the tower.

Step into the cab and take the Local Control position. Control Tower 3D puts you in the air traffic control tower with a real out-the-window view — sequence the arrivals, launch the departures, and above all, keep them separated.

This isn't a line-drawing game. You work the position the way a real tower controller does:

• SCAN THE RUNWAY. Sweep the full length before every clearance — a good scan earns your bonus and keeps you clear of incursions.
• SEQUENCE THE ARRIVALS. Clear them to land in order — number one, number two, number three — with proper spacing on final.
• WORK THE PATTERN. Extend upwind, extend downwind, turn base. Mix VFR pattern traffic with IFR arrivals, just like a real tower.
• RUN THE OPTIONS. Cleared for the option: low approach, touch-and-go, or stop-and-go.
• LAUNCH DEPARTURES. They taxi to the hold-short line on their own — get them airborne before the next arrival crosses the threshold, or it's a separation bust.
• HEAR THE RADIO. Pilots call up, read back clearances, and report the pattern with real text-to-speech voices.
• DON'T LET THEM MEET. Two aircraft in the same place is a very bad day.

NEW IN THE LATEST UPDATE
• Guided first shift — a narrated warm-up walks you through your first arrivals and departures, one clearance at a time. No manual needed.
• Save and resume — step away mid-shift and pick it up exactly where you left off.
• My Stats — shifts worked, best score, best grade and longest clean streak, kept on your device.
• Gyro look, neon ATC data blocks and the sharper airfield graphics stay from the previous update.

MODES
• Easy, Normal, and Rush shifts — timed, graded A+ to F.
• Levels campaign — 8 levels: timed warm-ups, then clear 25 to 150 operations as traffic builds.
• Top 100 scoreboard, saved on your device.
• Day and Dusk settings, dynamic weather with approach lighting.

Separation rules modeled on FAA Order JO 7110.65. Built for anyone who's ever looked up at the tower and wondered what it takes.

Whether you search for airport games, plane landing games, flight control, radar games, aviation sims, or an air traffic control tower simulator — this is the tower, and the position is yours. Fully offline, no account, no ads, free.

A DJ's Puzzle Palace game.
Be the tower controller — sequence arrivals, launch departures, keep them apart.
