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.

Glitches
Really enjoy it. Now, if they could just curb the glitches like when the scores won’t reset
Great realistic timing.
Worked as a terminal ATC. Nice for basic training traffic in a terminal environment. Unlike real ATC there are a few things lacking. For sure back and forth communication with pilot and response times in app are way to fast. It's great for getting comfortable with conflict resolution. Not every plane has to land on downwind side of runway they come through the gate at. If your busy and another plane comes in send it over the runway and bring him in on other side or widen him out and give him a bigger downwind. Above all keep vertical separation that's the be all of end all. All together nice realistic app for the scale it's on. Most terminal environments are 30 nm wide. Could use more space to sequence. Also would be nice to have basic aircraft data that tells you if it's a light medium or heavy and then space according to wake turbulence as in the real environment. Anyways great app!
Good and bad
Works great and I love it but after 8-12 minutes of gameplay it crashes and I lose all my progress but overall a great game
Oops!
Doesn't work on iOS 8!
Excellent Sim!
This is an excellent simulation and very very accurate! I trained to be an Air Traffic Controller and worked in the Simulator and this is very accurate and brings back fond memories. I'm happy to see after 7 years I still can handle it. Haven't tried the other airports yet, but would like to see a dual airport and more variety of planes to up the challenge. May have to be iPad only to have the screen space.
OMG Awesome
Way better than any other ATC apps. Those SEP RINGS saved a few thousand lives LOL. On to try Ninja level. Scored 50,500
Excellent free product (good add-ons)
I give four stars - I like it. It's fun but not easy to master. -good graphics -looks realistic -I like the scoring -the paid levels are challenging YEP -voice option cool -separation rings help (nice tool) I certainly got better after a few plays.
Good but judgemental
It is very good if u want to learn how to direct planes(very advanced) but some times this man comes up and starts giving you tips and assigns blame
Fun Game
So not a mindless game but good fast-paced fun (drink coffee first). I haven't tried the other levels yet. What's a good score?
