Flatout ATC puts you in the tower. Vector arrivals, sequence departures, clear approaches, and keep every aircraft safely separated across real airports from New York to Tokyo. NEW IN 3.0: THE WATCH A career campaign told in seasons. Step into the tower as a new controller and earn your place shift by shift, with a full cast, a story that carries across episodes, and a debrief after every shift. - Season 1: First Watch. Seven episodes. Your first solo, your first radio failure, your first engine-out. - Season 2: The Incident Desk. Seven episodes of search and rescue, including a cooperative multi-aircraft rescue. REAL CONTROL - Tap an aircraft to give it a heading, altitude, or speed. - Clear published approaches and issue crossing restrictions like a real controller. - Fly search and rescue: follow the signal, hold a steady hover to hoist, and beat the survival clock. LIVE TRAFFIC Work a shift against real aircraft flying right now over New York, London, Atlanta, Paris, and Tokyo, streamed from live ADS-B data. One free live shift every day. NO ADS Every advert was removed. No interruptions, no rewarded videos, just you and the airspace. A WHOLE WORLD Dozens of real airports with satellite-accurate runways, published procedures, 3D terrain and towers, weather you can fly around, helicopters, and a daily challenge. THE LOGBOOK Every level you clear writes a permanent record you can look back on. Already own the Full Game? You keep the base game and every season, free, forever.

About

Radar Atc Simulator

Read full description

Manage headings, flight levels, speeds and approaches in different stages that increase in difficulty. In stage four you will also have to manage an audio task to more realistically simulate an ATC environment. In the last stage you also manage approaches; if the approaches are not stabilized they will not be carried out.
