Live air traffic · iOS + Web
You're in the tower.
Real aircraft are flying over New York, London, Atlanta and Paris right now — and you're controlling them. Sequence arrivals, clear departures, and keep the metal apart across 50+ real-world airports, then earn your place in The Watch, a career campaign told in seasons. No ads, ever.
What makes it different
This isn't a simulation. It's happening now.
Flatout ATC streams live ADS-B data straight from the sky. The traffic you're separating over New York, London, Atlanta or Paris is real — same callsigns, same routes, same moment. Atlanta is always free, and New York, London and Paris share one free live shift a day. Free players start with two short Academy lessons before their first live shift.
Live traffic and The Watch are in the iPhone and iPad app. The browser version is a set of free starter levels.
Can you handle the pressure?
You're the unseen hand in the tower — the calm voice behind the organized chaos of a busy airspace. Guide a sky full of arrivals, departures, and overflights to their gates without bending any metal.
From your first Novice shift to Master Controller, Flatout ATC is pure: no ads, no pay-to-win. Just real airports, real traffic, and the satisfying click of a clean sequence.
