You will be able to simulate an air traffic controller shift at the most crowded and challenging airports in the world. More than 30 airports available to play and new ones being published every month, so you could not get bored.
Airports included within the free app:
- San Diego Intl Airport (KSAN / SAN)
San Diego, CA, USA
- Fort Lauderdale / Hollywood Intl Airport (KFLL / FLL)
Fort Lauderdale, FL, USA
All airports are based in real data navigation so you could practice real STARs and SID procedures.
Lead every arrival into the actives runways and clear them to land and guide all departures into their exit fixes.

Pros - real schedules, real weather, change time of day so you can practice during lighter traffic times, controls are easy Cons - add legacy airports to this version. I bought ATL and HNL when they were alone, don't play as well as the newer versions (can’t assign Sid/star, I’d buy them again for that feature). Group airports by region or sell individually instead of 3 at a time. Overall, love the app, been playing for years!
This simulation is very realistic without being overwhelming. A radar controller doesn’t care about the A/C on the ground. Try AIRPORT MADDNESS if you want to control a/c on the ground and near the airport. Ps How do I do simultaneous approaches to parallel runs like the do in the real world. There is no advantage to parallel runways if I have to use 3miles /1000 ft separation and have them at 2000ft all at hand of to tower. Help this would make it my favorite. By the way this is easy to do on ATC VOICE APP
This a better TRACON sim for iOS. Aircraft performance isn’t realistic for GA aircraft, but it’s not bad overall. What makes the app unbearable is the way the developer groups airport downloads to squeeze the most amount of money out of you. For example, if you’d like to control aircraft in the metro NY area, you have to buy three separate expansion packs, at $8 each, because JFK, Newark, and La Guardia are each on separate expansion packs. Similarly, Miami and Fort Lauderdale are on separate packages, as are Chicago Midway and O’Hare. I bet the developer would see more downloads(i.e., make more money) if he packaged airports by region instead. I’m more likely to buy a NY package and a SOCAL package, than packages that include African and Asian airports I’ll never play
This game is probably one of the best ATC games I've found. It's very realistic (being an AvGeek, I know!) and a great way to kill time. However, I have a few problems with it. 1. There are bugs. Planes will randomly disappear off the radar, then appear 5 minutes later in a completely different location. Sometimes, when a command is entered, this map randomly zooms out. Other times, you'll clear a plane to land, and a minute later it'll unclear itself and you have to do it again. 2. You can't zoom in and out normally. 3. While SAN and FLL are great, the expansions are too expensive, I don't want to have to pay $70 for all of the expansions. If they were $3 each (not $8), it'd be a lot better. Things that I'd like, but not having them doesn't detract from the game include: in depth ground control (gates, taxiways, etc),More options with speeds and altitudes (the cutoff at 250kts and 10000ft is annoying, and only intervals of 10 and 1000, respectively.), and finally, more alert. that a new plane has appeared on screen. With the fixes above, and maybe the addition of the features I listed, this would be a 5 star game for sure.
I purchased some airport packs in the past and enjoyed playing immensely. Now with new all-inclusive app I create the username then nothing. Black screen and nothing. Update: problems fixed quickly, gets five stars now. Very nice to have all airports in one app.
I can't see everything on my iPhone 5 also when I export it doesn't work, also the package 2 it asks to create a user and I did but it doesn't do anything just a black screen fix please! I feel like it was a big waste of money!
