You're the approach controller. Sequence, separate, and land them all. Vectrr puts you in front of a realistic TRACON radar scope at San Diego International (KSAN). Issue headings, altitudes, and speeds to guide arrivals onto the ILS while keeping every aircraft legally separated, using the same standards real controllers work with. TALK LIKE A CONTROLLER Speak real ATC phraseology and pilots read it back: "Delta nine eight one, turn left heading three one zero, descend and maintain three thousand." Voice recognition runs entirely on your device, so no internet is required and your voice never leaves your phone. Prefer silence? Every command also works by tap. REAL RULES, REAL DATA * Authentic separation standards: 1,000 ft vertical, 3 NM lateral, wake turbulence spacing on final * Real airport, runway, and navaid data * METAR-driven weather affecting runway selection and operations * Proper ILS intercept geometry, holding patterns, and go-arounds when you get it wrong FIND YOUR PACE Five difficulty levels, from Trainee (a calm trickle of arrivals with time to think) to Rush Hour (peak volume, minimum spacing, expert pacing). Ramp up as your scan improves. BUILT FOR THE SCOPE * Full data tags: callsign, type, altitude, speed, assigned heading, approach status, so you always see what you've instructed * Dark radar aesthetic, legible at a glance, colorblind-safe alerting * Designed for phones and tablets PLAYS OFFLINE No account. No ads interrupting your flow. The complete single-player game runs with zero connectivity, making it perfect for a flight. Optional online features are additive extras you can ignore entirely. GO FURTHER (OPTIONAL) * Vectrr Pro (one-time purchase): session replay, radar-scope themes, and a career logbook that tracks your progress. * Vectrr AI (subscription): starts with a 3-day free trial.
