ATC Simulator 3D Voice Control

ATC Simulator 3D Voice Control is an air traffic control simulator where you work the radio with your own voice. You key the microphone and issue clearances in standard FAA phraseology, and pilots answer over a radio-filtered channel with full readbacks before they fly your instructions. You sit in the 3D tower cab looking out at the runways, or in the radar room working approach, or in the cockpit flying an aircraft yourself.

VOICE ON THE FREQUENCY
Press push-to-talk and speak the clearance: "Seacliff four zero one, descend and maintain five thousand, cleared ILS runway two five right." Pilots read the instruction back in distinct voices and execute it. If an instruction makes no sense they query it, and if you were unclear they ask you to say again. When you cannot talk, you can tap any aircraft and issue the same commands by touch.

THREE SEATS TO WORK
- Approach radar: vector arrivals from the terminal boundary onto the ILS with headings, altitudes and speeds. Hold traffic when the final fills up, clear aircraft for visual approaches, and hand each arrival off to the tower.
- 3D tower cab: watch the airport through the cab windows. Drag flight strips to set your departure sequence, taxi aircraft along named taxiways, issue hold short and runway crossing clearances, clear departures for takeoff and arrivals to land, and send a flight around when separation breaks down.
- Pilot in command: take the cockpit seat while the tower is worked for you. You fly airliner decks with working autopilot panels, a turboprop, a light single, or a fighter. You dial your cleared altitude, heading and speed, and make every radio call and readback yourself.

THE AIRPORTS AND THE FLEET
Work three fields:
- San Francisco International (KSFO), with two pairs of crossing parallel runways.
- Palo Alto Airport (KPAO), a general aviation field where you work tower and ground together and fit VFR callers into a busy pattern of flight school trainers.
- Bayview International, a training airport built for learning radar, tower and winter operations.

Over 25 aircraft types share the ramps and approaches, from the Cessna 172 and Dash 8 to the 737, A320, 777, A380, C-17 and F-16. Shifts start with full gates, moving jet bridges, and pushback tugs.

WEATHER, WINTER AND EMERGENCIES
Every shift begins with a weather and runway briefing. Rain runs down the cab glass and lengthens landing rolls. In fog, arrivals go around at minimums and divert. During winter operations at Bayview, pilots pass braking action reports, departures taxi through the de-icing pad, and you close runways for the snowploughs. When emergencies are enabled, a departure may strike birds on climb-out and turn back under a MAYDAY or PAN-PAN, and an arrival on final may declare smoke in the cockpit, an engine failure or a hydraulic failure. You clear the traffic path and roll the rescue equipment.

LEARN THE PHRASEOLOGY AND RULES
Phraseology follows FAA Order JO 7110.65. Your post-shift score sheet shows the rule behind each point, and the built-in handbook opens the FAA paragraph behind an instruction.
- Ground school: 18 chapters with voiced radio examples and a glossary.
- Guided lessons: 23 instructor-voiced lessons on the approach radar scope and in the tower cab.
- Radio School: 42 radio drills across 7 packs.

OFFLINE AND ONLINE PLAY
The simulation, weather, emergencies, scoring, lessons, handbook and pilot voices all work offline. Without a connection, voice control uses your phone's own speech recognizer if an offline English speech pack is installed, and touch commands always work. An internet connection adds the live world: cloud speech recognition for your clearances, and live, directed events in your shift.
