Practise landing at Tokyo Haneda, one approach at a time. Fly with touch controls over Tokyo Bay and the city skyline in this 3D flight simulator. LANDING PRACTICE - Guided controls tour: follow the arrows to practise reducing and restoring thrust, banking and levelling, pitch, left and right rudder inputs, and braking. Observe the aircraft's response and check the highlighted instruments before the tour advances automatically - An illustrated lesson roadmap: progress from basic landing to centreline, soft touchdown, crosswind, a wide-body at night and a jumbo. Achieve each goal to unlock the next lesson and repeat completed lessons - Approach Coach: useful cues for speed, alignment, attitude, flare and braking, with an option to hide them - Post-flight analysis: review flight-path and altitude plots, touchdown sink rate, centreline offset, approach stability and a tip for your next attempt - Lesson achievements and the latest 12 results saved on your device FLY HANEDA - Eight approaches plus free flight. Preview the starting view and map before flying - Free Autoland Demo from approach to touchdown and a full stop, with visible control positions as a guide and manual takeover available. Assisted flights do not earn scores or lesson achievements - Five aircraft sizes: turboprop, regional jet, narrow-body, wide-body twin and jumbo, with different approach speeds, handling and stopping distances - Haneda's four runways, terminals, parked aircraft, Tokyo Bay and the Tokyo and Yokohama skyline - Morning, day, sunset and night, adjustable crosswind, clouds, runway lighting and PAPI - Aerial imagery from the Geospatial Information Authority of Japan and an optional live aircraft layer from OpenSky Network - Livery presets and individual aircraft colours TOUCH CONTROLS Fly with the stick on the left and thrust lever on the right. Instruments and a mini map show your speed, altitude and position relative to the runway. Flaps, landing gear and speed brakes operate automatically.

Flight Sim Checklists keeps the cockpit flow in your hand while you fly on the sim. Pick your aircraft, work the checklist challenge-and-response style, and tap each line as it's called — no scrolling a PDF on a second monitor, no losing your place halfway down the approach. Built for desktop simmers who fly with a phone or tablet propped up next to the yoke. AIRCRAFT INCLUDED • Airbus A320 / A330 — 11 sections, Cockpit Preparation through Securing the Aircraft • Airbus A300 — 9 sections, Before Start through Securing Aircraft • Boeing 737 NG — 10 sections, Preflight through Secure 158 items in total, written in the ACTION → RESPONSE layout used on the flight deck, so what you read matches what you'd hear. RUN A CHECKLIST • Tap any line to check it off — it dims so your eye lands on what's left • Mark a whole section complete in one tap, or unmark it to run it again • Move between sections with buttons labelled with the actual next and previous section names • Haptic feedback on every check, with a distinct confirmation when a section completes SEE WHERE YOU ARE • A progress ring on each aircraft card shows how far through the flight you are • The section menu colour-codes every section: not started, in progress, or complete • Reopen an aircraft and it drops you straight back at the first section you haven't finished • Aircraft with a flight in progress sort to the top of the home screen • Reset a single section or the whole aircraft whenever you want a clean start • Progress clears itself after a day of inactivity, so the next flight never starts half-checked BUILT FOR iPHONE AND iPAD • iPad runs a two-column layout — section list on the left, live checklist on the right • iPhone keeps the checklist full-screen with the section list one tap away • Portrait and landscape, so it works flat on the desk or clipped to a stand • Dark mode, Dynamic Type, and full VoiceOver labelling on every item NO STRINGS • Works completely offline — every checklist ships inside the app • No account, no sign-in, no subscription • No ads, no analytics, no tracking, nothing collected about you For flight simulation and training-familiarisation use only. Not for use in real-world aviation. Not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Airbus, Boeing, Microsoft, or any aircraft manufacturer or simulator publisher. Always fly the real aircraft by its official, current documentation.
