FMC TYPER is a retro typing game styled after an airliner's flight management computer. Every key of the panel sits exactly where your fingers expect it — practice touch-typing the aviation way, on a green CRT that feels like the real instrument. NEW: ATC RUSH Hear the call. Type it. Fire. Listen to air traffic control, pick out your callsign, and type the readback on the keypad — heading, altitude, speed, frequency, even taxi routes. Get it right and your readback launches itself at the target. • A campaign across Mars and Titan — six packages and a TOWER boss every stage, planet bosses at stages 10 and 20 • Read back the taxi clearance to break the shield, then the takeoff clearance to finish the boss • TERRAIN, TCAS and WINDSHEAR alerts that you answer like a pilot • An upgrade tree with skills and fusions that visibly change your jet • SAY AGAIN, a stage map with story radio, and a shareable result card FIVE GAMES • ATC RUSH — the new radio-readback shooter above. • TYPE TEMPO — rhythm typing on a flight-display note field. Notes drop down the lanes to original retro tracks: hit the keys on the beat, hold the long notes, chase PERFECT on the magenta capture line. Timing adjusts itself for Bluetooth headphones. • WORD RAIN — aviation words fall down the CRT. Type them and press EXEC to shoot them down before they pile up. Reach a 10 combo to enter FEVER: words auto-fire the instant you finish typing them. • WHACK-A-MOLE — tokens pop up beside the line-select keys. Type the token, smash its key, beat the clock. Three difficulty levels. • ROUTE RUN — fly routes fix by fix on a navigation display over a night-lights map, typing each waypoint to advance. Domestic and international routes. BUILT LIKE THE REAL THING • Faithful 1:1 panel scale on iPad Air 11" — real key pitch and layout for blind-typing practice • Three panel skins: the classic green-screen B737 CDU, a blue-grey A320 MCDU, and the E-JET MCDU — each with its own muscle-memory quirks • CRT glow, scanlines, phosphor trails and original retro soundtrack and sound effects • On iPhone, a keypad zoom brings the keys up to finger size TRAIN YOUR FINGERS Blind-type ICAO airport codes, waypoints, the phonetic alphabet, procedure names and ATC readbacks. Every result screen shows your previous best, and high scores are tracked per panel skin. FAIR AND SIMPLE The first rounds are ad-free, then a short ad appears every few completed rounds — never during play. One optional purchase removes all ads forever. FMC TYPER is a game for entertainment and typing practice. It is not for real-world navigation or flight training. Radio calls, callsigns and values are fictional.
