ATC Skills Module 1

About ATC Skills Module 1 Android App

Designed to target specific skills related to air traffic control, this is the first in a series of modules for anyone who is interested in, or training to become, and air traffic controller. Developed by air traffic controllers and instructors this set of modules is unlike others as each are skill specific.

Module I allows students to practice and master directional vectoring on their own without the stressful environment of a training simulator.

The first level of this module starts students off learning simple controls of the simulation and provides an idea of aircraft separation distance requirements.

The second level of this simulator introduces aircraft to the airspace at varying velocities.

The final 2 levels combine the above skills with crossing traffic.

More advanced modules add wind, speed control, and altitude variation to the simulation one at a time, thereby allowing student mastery of each of these skills on their own.

To be clear, this is not a "game". As an ATC training simulation there are times when this app appears slow or "boring". Welcome to the real world of air traffic control. During these times it is important for the student to remember that maintaining focus and vigilance is still an important requirement of the career.

A stylus is recommended when using this simulation to make selection of individual aircraft and compass headings easier.

While this simulation will run on most android phones and tablets, the minimum recommended screen size is 7".
