Introduction: YOU'RE IN THE HOTSEAT WITH A MASSIVE AMOUNT OF STEEL AT YOUR COMMAND! Take charge at the world’s busiest airports as an air traffic controller. Safely direct a multitude of different aircraft to land and take-off, while maintaining order on the runways. You must use skill and determination to make your airports the safest and greatest in the land. You are solely responsible for directing hundreds of tons of airplane steel and the thousands of passengers they carry. It will take a sharp eye, good memory and smooth sense of control to get those massive beauties into the air and back onto terra firma without incident! You will feel real pressure as you climb into the hottest seat of one of the world's most stressful jobs. It’s like taking on the dual roles of air control and ground control without years of studying for your ATCO licence from the CAA. One broken link in the chain breaks everything. The air traffic controller must keep everyone calm, especially the pilots, by managing their individual stress meters. Radio instructions must be communicated in short, clear messages to keep all four contact groups – Approach, Tower, Ground and Delivery – working together in more and more demanding scenarios. |
Features: The first air traffic control simulation on the NDS. Control, direct and manage incoming and departing flights from 3,000ft up in the air to reaching the airport gate and vice versa. Use the Touch Screen to safely manage takeoffs and landings. Juggle up to 8 flights at once at busy airports to try to keep them from crashing into one another. Keep track of 7 types of planes for 14 airlines in changing weather conditions. 15 levels spread across five stages (airports), three difficulty settings (planes, conditions) and a strict rule set. Simultaneously manage up to 16 landing and take-off variables (9 landing and 7 take-off) using your radio with 4 contact channels (Approach, Tower, Ground, Delivery). Pilot Stress Meter: Manage your radio time with short, clear communications to keep the pilot stress levels down. By keeping cool and performing under pressure, earn 16 different badges including "King of Stress", "ATC Legend" or even "Ruler of the Skies!". Share your high scores with up to 7 friends in the ATC Library. Great sound effects of roaring engines and Rumble pack vibration effects. Encyclopaedia of Air Traffic Controller terminology. |
