Headings is the most realistic Air Trafic Control (ATC) radar simulator and trainer for iPhone and iPad you will find. From complete newbie to seasoned ATCO, there is a mode for you. Learn about ATC techniques and tools such as vectoring, speed control, QDMs, aircraft performance and more. Also includes a Eurocontrol FEAST-II part 2 training mode so you can train estimating headings just by sight while also constantly shifting focus to different aircraft. (what we call scanning and is an essential skill for these kinds of tests) Acquire and hone new skills, then compete for the top spot on the leaderboard to see if you can beat real Air Traffic Control Officers (ATCOs). Scenarios currently include Dubai International, JFK (New York), Heathrow (London), Zaventem (Brussels), Schiphol (Amsterdam), Rome (Fiumicino) and New Delhi (Indira Gandhi) featuring actual aircraft callsigns and types from those locations. Or choose your custom runway direction you'd like to train on. 6 difficulty levels per scenario allow you to really become accustomed to the airspace and also focus training on a certain type of traffic. Extreme traffic modes make you experience the true at the top of focus/edge of drowning feeling just like real traffic does. For valid ATCOs, please add your 4-letter Unit identifier in your gamecenter name to show up in the leaderboards with your unit. This is version one of a one-man project. Love the job so much that I decided to make my own training/refreshing/game tool to enjoy during off days :-) Ad-free for life hence the initial one-time purchase. If you have any questions, suggestions, comments or requests for new airports/airspaces please send me an email at headingsatc@icloud.com. Screen size of the iPhone currently limits some airspace possiblities. In the works: Voice control, New headings game mode, bigger airspace which is GPS accurate SID/STARs, etc. Of course that will be free for those who support this version. Thank you and regards, N.
