## What is ATC Tower?

Work the tower at real airports.

ATC Tower puts you in the cab at real airports, with real runways, taxiways and hold-short lines drawn from map data: Muskegon (KMKG), Grand Rapids (KGRR), Milwaukee (KMKE) and Orlando (KMCO). Each one gets busier than the last. You're working Ground and Tower together: every departure, arrival and pattern Cessna calls you, and nothing moves until you clear it.

WHAT YOU DO
• Taxi departures from their stands to the runway, stopping at every hold-short line
• Clear runway crossings, line up and wait, takeoffs and handoffs to departure
• Sequence VFR arrivals into the pattern: downwind, base, straight-in, extend downwind
• Read IFR clearances and assign squawk codes
• Clear pattern traffic for the option: touch and go, low approach or full stop
• Give departures a heading, change runways, and side-step or vector arrivals to another runway
• Run several runways at once, with separate arrival and departure runways
• Handle the unexpected: MAYDAY emergencies, closed runways and no-radio aircraft on the light gun

REAL CONDITIONS
• Live METAR weather for the airport, or pick your own wind
• You choose the runway in use. Tailwinds and strong crosswinds cost points
• Traffic comes in departure pushes and arrival banks, and the radio speeds up as your board fills
• Pilots call and read back over the radio, and ask for a longer runway when yours is too short
• Lose separation and you get traffic alerts, or worse, a mid-air collision

PLAY YOUR WAY
• Guide mode walks first-timers through every call with lighter traffic
• Casual, Standard and Pro difficulty
• Light, Normal or Busy traffic
• Pause any time. Your session is saved

AIRPORTS
• Muskegon (KMKG), free: two crossing runways, regional jets, bizjets and lots of pattern work
• Grand Rapids (KGRR): three runways, mainline and regional jets, overnight FedEx and UPS
• Milwaukee (KMKE): five runways, a Southwest base, the hub carriers, cargo and bizjets
• Orlando (KMCO): four parallel runways, land on one and depart the other, with long-haul heavies
