Arrival Radar: A Simplified Air Traffic Control Simulation Game

By

6mo ago· 1 min readenReview

Summary

Arrival Radar is an air traffic control simulation game where players must land planes as quickly as possible while maintaining separation between aircraft. Unlike other ATC simulators that allow direct vectoring, altitude, and speed control, this game only permits assigning routes to guide planes to final approach. The challenge comes from random plane arrivals and the need to cleverly reassign routes to prevent separation violations.

Your objective is to land planes as quickly as possible while maintaining separation between them
This constraint makes for some challenge, because planes arrive randomly and tend to end up violating separation minima unless you assign routes cleverly and actively
In order to prevent conflicts, you'll have to be deft at re-assigning routes and asking planes to join their route
That's all you can do, in contrast to other atc simulators which let you vector planes directly, assign altitudes and speeds, etc.
