Flight Level

Flight Level is an air traffic control simulator made by real radar controllers. You manage aircraft on radar, learn core ATC concepts and work with other players to handle traffic across sectors.

Training and control

The Training Campaign teaches the skills and concepts needed to safely handle traffic in Area Control and Approach Control, as well as how sectors work together. The interface resembles radar-position systems used in many centers around the world. You interact mainly through aircraft labels attached to traffic on the radar, with tools to measure conflicts and assess the traffic situation.

To simplify learning radio phraseology, you click clearances into aircraft labels and hear the clearances and pilot readbacks. The game also simulates electronic coordination between sectors: you send and accept requests through the interface. In multiplayer, complex situations may also require voice communication.

Multiplayer coordination

You work with other players to move traffic safely and efficiently. Most traffic entering a sector comes from another sector and continues into another, so coordination with neighboring sectors can help resolve problems.

Weather and scenarios

Wind conditions vary at different flight levels and affect how you solve traffic problems. Thunderstorms are also simulated; pilots mainly tell you about them by requesting headings to avoid storm cells.

A built-in Scenario Editor lets you create single-player and multiplayer scenarios, and you can add airspaces using the documentation provided with the game.
