Atc game

Has anyone played the ATC game online? How do you know when to turn those suckers? It seems like a lot of guesswork to me. I have no ATC experience if you can't tell. I'm hoping it gets more complex in later levels.

I didn't realize there were so many. I'm not sure I'll have to check when I get home from work. Gimme an hour or two. It's the one that you can click to see the 3 mile radius circles that are highlighted in red around the tags. The first level has a bunch of 6's around it, and it is a black screen with a horizontal approach line in the center of the screen. A guy comes up and says I'll get fired if my planes get close one more time, etc... That's all I could play in the 30 minutes before I had to take off for work..

The only one that I used/use is Welcome to the ATCsimulator?2 Website

Kind of pricey, but you can edit the files to make it "realistic"

much like this game, the FAA is actually testing point and click control instructions that are delivered to pilots via a text message similar to ACARS. its part of this whole NEXGEN baloney. they found that the time needed for a controller to give an instruction over the frequency and to hear the readback averages at about 3 seconds. the time for a controller to point, click, enter data and have it delivered and rogered via computer averages at a little over 7 seconds. thats way too slow to be practical. maybe by 2025 they'll have all this sorted out.
