Editorial interest 88/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A browser-based air-traffic-control game where players vector real aircraft, manage runway approaches, and follow flights across 16 airports.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-24 issue.

Field notes

The game converts aircraft movement into a sequence of radar decisions: select an aircraft, assign a route, adjust altitude, and clear it once it reaches the runway corridor. Its scoring tracks landings, handoffs, alerts, diversions, clean shifts, and streaks, while adjustable time speeds support short sessions. The page lists 16 airport environments and says the traffic comes from community ADS-B receivers. It also presents a free preview before planned paid access.
