Be a Radar Approach Controller
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 world's 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. That's 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 C's'. 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.}

Too hard to play.I suggest the person who created this game tries how hard did he made the game is.

Doesn’t correctly apply approved separation standards such as diverging separation but fun to play with. Also needs varying runway alignment

The UI is great…a nice presentation, easy to use and has a realistic feel. Issues that need work as of 1/2023: 1. User needs awareness of why game ended. It seems like if a threshold of errors is reached, the game ends, but why the game ends each time needs to be made apparent to the user. In current state, it feels like the game is crashing. 2. End game screen feels broken: user is presented with coaching/reinforcement, which is fine, but the try again/replay button doesn’t work, so user experience is that the game is frozen. Only way to try again is to close app, and re-launch, which feels like a total loss of previous gameplay. Nevertheless, I keep playing, which says a lot.

Ok, first for the free approach sector at least this is way to little space you’ve given for a feeder of directors control. The space between traffic on downwind and traffic on final on the localiser is barely enough and just above 3 miles standard radar separation. Approach sectors for feeder at least have a big sector or larger ones have up to 40NM, also it would be nice to let people know the different altitude intercepts for the glide slope as not every plane can just go from the Outer marker at any altitude and magically descend fast enough for landing. These are all things which don’t require a huge ton of work, I have much more stuff to say on the “realism of this” “ simulator” but I’ve really just complained on the stuff which is already there. Realism of this id give it a 1/5 and I know it isn’t easy to implement all of the things for realism but if you wanted a fair review here it was.

If you add 1) real airports such as JFK or KLAX!) 2) make to I would can clear for ILS only in localizer. 3) add some real airlines with their callsign such as Delta (D) or Lufthansa (LH) for example - D137 or LH654 . The game will be so much better!!! And real people in aviation will give you 5 stars . And you will be rich.)))) good luck!!!

Strangely addictive but lack of save game option is a pain. Lost 2hrs of progress eventhough I left game open in background. ☹️

Really enjoy it. Now, if they could just curb the glitches like when the scores won’t reset

黒い画面を点が動いているだけのかなり地味でお金のかかってなさそうなゲームだけどハマった。しょっぱなの1ステージから難しい。2ステージからは課金みたい。1ステージクリアしたら2ステージやってみようかな。
