Ordering an aircraft to take off as soon as they arrive at the runway isn’t all there is to being a controller. Your role is to assure ample aircraft separation, and provide a reasonable and safe flow of traffic away from the airport to avoid conflicts with arriving aircraft. This is done by properly spacing inbound aircraft AND sequencing departures into the traffic flow.
Aircraft separation is generally defined by the phase of flight the aircraft is currently in (takeoff, climb, cruise, descent, and landing) and the size of the aircraft. Aircraft are categorized according to weight.
P - Prop
T - TurboProp
B - Business
R - Regional jet
N - Narrow Body Jet
W - Wide Body Jet
C - Cargo
Once the game starts you must select at least one arrival runway to receive arrivals. The various letters represent the various types of aircrafts which can be allowed to land on that runway.
If time based separation is used you still need to maintain a minimum 1000’ vertical separation between planes.
You can request different distance based separation from the approach by selecting the corresponding button.
Planes landing and taking off from parallel runways must be separated also. Normally at least 3600 feet between the runways required for fully independent plane movements. Between 760’ and 3600’ of the runways it is allowed to land planes with 1,5 mile separation.
However there are certain airports where these rules don’t apply so we implemented a selection where you can set the rules for the given airport.
After takeoff, normal practice is to transfer control to departure as soon as possible to reduce workload. It is your responsibility not to clear the next aircraft for takeoff until the departing aircraft is safely away. Once you are certain the flight is clear, you can instruct the pilot to contact Departure.
