About

Headings is the most realistic Air Trafic Control (ATC) radar simulator and trainer for iPhone and iPad you will find. From complete newbie to seasoned ATCO, there is a mode for you. Learn about ATC techniques and tools such as vectoring, speed control, QDMs, aircraft performance and more. Also includes a Eurocontrol FEAST-II part 2 training mode so you can train estimating headings just by sight while also constantly shifting focus to different aircraft. (what we call scanning and is an essential skill for these kinds of tests) Acquire and hone new skills, then compete for the top spot on the leaderboard to see if you can beat real Air Traffic Control Officers (ATCOs). Scenarios currently include Dubai International, JFK (New York), Heathrow (London), Zaventem (Brussels), Schiphol (Amsterdam), Rome (Fiumicino) and New Delhi (Indira Gandhi) featuring actual aircraft callsigns and types from those locations. Or choose your custom runway direction you'd like to train on. 6 difficulty levels per scenario allow you to really become accustomed to the airspace and also focus training on a certain type of traffic. Extreme traffic modes make you experience the true at the top of focus/edge of drowning feeling just like real traffic does. For valid ATCOs, please add your 4-letter Unit identifier in your gamecenter name to show up in the leaderboards with your unit. This is version one of a one-man project. Love the job so much that I decided to make my own training/refreshing/game tool to enjoy during off days :-) Ad-free for life hence the initial one-time purchase. If you have any questions, suggestions, comments or requests for new airports/airspaces please send me an email at headingsatc@icloud.com. Screen size of the iPhone currently limits some airspace possiblities. In the works: Voice control, New headings game mode, bigger airspace which is GPS accurate SID/STARs, etc. Of course that will be free for those who support this version. Thank you and regards, N.

Actual Radar ATCO review

Really good simulation, and much fun! I’m able to play on my iPhone with ease. Room for improvement: - WTC alarm triggers with a lighter in front of a heavier WTC on final. Otherwise, good job!

Is it for real?

. I’ve tried many other programs for aircraft control, but this is absolutely the best it gives you everything you could want in a control atmosphere. It’s almost like you’re sitting in an ATC office controlling aircraft into an airport. It starts off with training and then you progress very realistic and extremely addictive. I’ve sat here until like 3 o’clock in the morning playing with this and I’ve been doing it now for a few weeks and it is wonderful. Can’t wait for the next revision so if you’re looking for a good realistic, ATC program look no further this one is definitely it.

Good but could improve

Good, but could be improved with more airports, runway change assignments, voice vectoring/recognition and approach gates

Great ATC

This is one of the best ATC games out there. The controls are quick to learn. It would be great if you had default approaches you could put planes on and then vector to final. Maybe have a small failure rate where the pilot misses a turn or command. The only thing I noticed is the observed speed thresholds below 10k don’t apply. These are minor callouts as the single dev delivered a great experience.

WONDERFUL APP! HIGHLY RECOMMEND

The developer(s) did an amazing job on this app, and I hope they continue developing it for a long time to come. This game has so much potential, and I can't wait to see what gets added next! I will say that it can be quite puzzling for some people, as it simulates the real thing, but it gets easier as time goes on! I would love for the developers to make things like tower/ground/center controller modes for more diversity, but it's truly at a great start! I recommend this app, thank you developers for making a truly realistic simulator that also works as a puzzle!

Zoom feature

This is a very good game, although there are a few features that are missing. It would be great to see a zoom feature in this game, this would help alot when you line planes up for landing it can get cluttered and hard to see so an addition of a zoom feature would be helpful.

Best of the bunch when it comes to radar ATC games

This seems to be the best one I have tried. I would love to see SID/STAR incorporation with descend and climb via clearances. More intersections to aid in vectoring. More airports with intersecting landing runway operations. One thing I don’t like is the random generation in the very beginning. The aircraft should generate from a waypoint handoff. Otherwise a great trainer/game from a one man team. Added the 5th star because the developer cares about his product and communicates to the custome. Bravo :-)

Developer is both nice and efficient! :-)

After the developer saw my review and contacted me in a matter of days. He fixed the iOS zoom setting issue and now I can see the exit points. :-) On my iPhone 12, the speed settings are too fast, x50 is more like an arcade. I suggested something like; c1, x4, x7, x10 instead. As is, I leave it on x1 just put it down for a while. I think I heard a real air traffic controller collapse on the floor. 8-)
