Description

Approach Control is a highly realistic air traffic control simulation, designed by real world air traffic controllers. It uses authentic pilot voices. This app is designed to give aviation enthusiasts a taste of the worlds greatest job. The radar behavior in this app is identical to that of real-world air traffic control radar screens, utilizing a 3-second sweep that air traffic controllers are accustomed to. Much work has been done to make such a complex job fit inside the palm of your hand. You are the approach controller whose job is to manage arriving passenger jets at various busy airports. Establish arriving aircraft onto final approach as safely and efficiently as possible. As in the real world of ATC, you must walk a very fine line between being cautious and being expeditious. A top notch air traffic controller knows how to bring planes in tight, without breaking the three mile rule. Keep all aircraft at least THREE MILES apart or at least 1000 FEET VERTICALLY apart. Thats your job in a nutshell! Earn extra points by establishing the planes onto final approach without extra wasted space. Air traffic controlling is achieved by assigning a mixture of three things: HEADING, SPEED, and ALTITUDE. Use these three tools to achieve safety and efficiency. A successful air traffic controller must remain CALM, COOL and COLLECTED, known as the three Cs. Who knows, you may one day use these skills and apply for a real ATC job! Find out why real-world air traffic controllers have nerves of steel.

Good but needs updates

NY320Capt · 9 years ago · v1.03

Realistic , challenging and fun but crashes regularly after prolonged play.

Not recommend

Mark Hurley · 9 years ago · v1.03

The app is in serious need of updates. Its a 4x3 aspect ration in a 16x9 world.

Payant

Talken84 · 12 years ago · v1.01

Seulement le niveau facile est gratuit. Pour le reste il faut payer... Pas assez intéressant pour payer!

Mauvais / Bad

Mini Styx · 10 years ago · v1.03

Le jeu bug trop / the game bugs !

Nicely done, very usable and realistic, just one feature missing IMO

Salamanderjoe · 12 years ago · v1.01

Nicely done!, very professional-looking interface and challenging tasks. Just one thing missing in my opinion: It would be great if one could adjust the passage of time, as in make everything go faster or slower.

Nice...

bennibenson · 11 years ago · v1.01

...and realistic. Just gets boring a little too soon.

Too many bugs

Robbeld · 10 years ago · v1.03

Frequently crashing when selecting a target, as well as issues with altitude that can only be set to current altitude +/-x*10, and when one error condition is present (distance <3 Nm) other errors arent detected. At the moment there are better ATC apps.
