How to play?

Your goal is to keep aircraft apart and manage the flow of arriving and departing aircraft. If the distance between two aircraft get below 3.0 nautical miles and 1.000 feet, the game is over. The distance between the grid lines is exactly 3 nautical miles.

The labels show the callsign and altitude of the aircraft. The label of the selected aircraft additionally shows the aircraft type, its destination and the altitude at which the aircraft must reach its destination. A line links the selected aircraft with its destination.

You can give aircraft the following clearances:

  • Change heading
  • Fly direct to destination
  • Change altitude
  • Change speed

    • Using the mouse:

    Point an aircraft to select it. Click on the selected aircraft to access the control panel. The labels on the left control the speed, the ones on the right control the altitude. The compass rose in the center controls the heading. The aircraft reacts immediately, and you can return to the game using the “DONE” button.

    Using the keyboard:

  • Use Tab and Shift-Tab to change the selected aircraft
  • Use the keys 1 to 9 to clear the selected aircraft to 1.000 to 9.000 feet
  • Use the left / right arrow to change the heading in steps of 10 degrees
  • Use the up / down arrows to change the speed in steps of 10 knots
