Click an aircraft on the scope or in the traffic list to open its clearances. Amber labels mark aircraft requesting instructions.
Arrivals
Wait for contact near 6 NM, then select Continue approach to unlock speed and landing instructions. A go-around costs 100 points, including when an aircraft reaches the threshold without landing clearance.
Departures
Assign a holding point. Wait for the preceding aircraft’s tail to cross the runway exit line or far threshold. Rejected takeoff clearances cost 100 points.
Raleigh–Durham
Light aircraft depart on 14 and arrive on 32. Runway 14/32 crosses 05R/23L at HS 1. Arrivals can hold short there until cleared to cross.
Wake spacing
After a heavy clears the runway, medium departures wait 30 seconds and light departures wait 60. Lights wait 30 seconds behind mediums. A light or medium can skip the timer if it rotates earlier and can stay above the preceding climb path. Heavies and aircraft in the same wake category need no extra wake delay.
Started shifts keep running while this page is open, including when you switch airports. A collision ends the shift. Airport diagrams and separation rules are simplified for play.
