Description
We've fixed stability issues with this app.
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.

Ratings and Reviews
Fun but missing realistic procedures
Doesn’t correctly apply approved separation standards such as diverging separation but fun to play with. Also needs varying runway alignment
Good enough but.
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!!!
Crashes
This game is a lot of fun! But crashes after playing it for 10 mins or longer. Played on my ipad 2 and iPhone 6 and it crashes on both. Doesn't save your game either so you lose all your progress.
