About

Approach

Features
Read full description

Forty seconds. One runway. Land the plane. Tilt your iPhone or iPad like a control column, guide the aircraft through the approach rings, and put it down where it counts. Every landing is graded, every mistake is yours, and every good arrival earns a better rank. FLY 32 HANDCRAFTED APPROACHES Take four increasingly demanding aircraft—from a nimble turboprop to a jumbo jet—into 32 focused landing scenarios. Ten real-world airports include island strips, mountain runways, steep approaches and city turns. LAND, LEARN, IMPROVE Your report scores touchdown softness, centreline, crab angle, speed, touchdown zone, wings level, rollout, rings and pace. Earn up to three stars, then replay the landing from beside the runway to see what worked. TILT CONTROLS, BUILT FOR PLAY Bank and pitch by tilting the device. Work the throttle, flaps, gear, rudder, brakes and reverse thrust by touch. Tap the artificial horizon at any time to re-centre the controls, and choose Gentle, Standard or Sharp tilt sensitivity. ARCADE FLYING WITH REAL CONSEQUENCES Wind, gusts, stalls, flap failures, engine failures, short runways and rising terrain keep every final different—without turning the game into a cockpit manual. The complete Turboprop chapter and the opening flights of every other chapter are free: 15 of 32 levels. One optional non-consumable purchase unlocks the remaining 17. No ads. No subscriptions. No account required. Plays offline.
