## What is Final Approach?

You are the tower. Aircraft stream in from every edge of the screen, and it is up to you to bring them all home. Drag from each aircraft to draw its flight path, guide it onto the runway or pad that matches its colour, and keep every aircraft apart. One near miss is all it takes.

SEVEN KINDS OF AIRCRAFT, FOURTEEN MODELS
Airliners, jumbo jets and business jets need long runways. Props settle onto short strips, crop dusters onto dirt, helicopters onto rooftop pads, floatplanes onto buoyed water lanes and fighters onto a moving aircraft carrier. Each model flies at its own speed, from the tiny Cessna to the A380.

SPECIAL ARRIVALS
The space shuttle glides in far too fast and must be slowed with a winding path before it can touch down. Concorde arrives supersonic and has to stay over the sea until it slows.

A 30-LEVEL CAMPAIGN
Fly from a farm dirt strip to a four-runway international hub, across lakes, coastline, open ocean, cities, desert, mountains, snow and a naval air station. Route around stadium no-fly zones, mountains, city towers, wind farms, drifting storm cells and rogue drones, and handle low-fuel emergencies, night landings by runway lights, and fog.

ENDLESS WORLD TOUR AND DAILY CHALLENGE
World Tour builds a fresh airport for every stage and keeps raising the pressure. The daily challenge gives every player the same airport and traffic each day, with its own leaderboard and streaks.

A LOGBOOK FOR STATS LOVERS
Track lifetime and per-airport stats: landings by aircraft and pad, crashes by cause, combos, distance flown, peak traffic, fuel saves, carrier traps, streaks and fastest clears.

ALSO INCLUDES
- 42 achievements and Game Center leaderboards
- Combo scoring for back-to-back landings
- Haptics, a calm soundtrack and colour-blind symbols
- Progress synced across iPhone, iPad and Mac with iCloud

FREE TO START
The first four levels and the daily challenge are free. A one-time purchase unlocks the rest of the campaign and World Tour. An optional livery pack adds cosmetic paint schemes. There are no ads and no data collection.
