7 itemsAbout the Game
You are the last line of safety between the sky and the ground.
ATC: Tower & Ground puts you in control of real Mediterranean airports — starting with Palma de Mallorca International (LEPA). Every runway, taxiway, stand, SID, STAR and approach procedure is built from real public aeronautical data. No fictional airports. No shortcuts.
TWO JOBS. ONE AIRPORT.
TOWER — Clear aircraft for takeoff and landing. Sequence arrivals under pressure. Handle go-arounds, runway incursions, and separation conflicts in real time.
GROUND — Guide aircraft from gate to runway and back. Assign stands, manage pushbacks, route traffic across the full airport layout without a single conflict.
Most ATC games give you one role. We give you both.
BUILT ON REAL DATA
Every airport in ATC: Tower & Ground is recreated from public aeronautical sources. LEPA includes real runway configurations, real taxiway layouts, real stand numbering, and real instrument procedures. If you have flown into Palma, you will recognize it.
THE SKY HAS WEATHER
Five layers of dynamic wind affect aircraft performance and approach paths. Turbulence, crosswinds, and visibility changes are not cosmetic — they change how you sequence traffic and which runways you use.
AIRCRAFT THAT BEHAVE LIKE AIRCRAFT
Each aircraft type has its own performance profile, wake turbulence category, and RNAV capability. A heavy widebody on final needs more separation than a regional turboprop. Your sequencing decisions have real consequences.
EMERGENCIES HAPPEN WITHOUT WARNING
Medical on board. Engine failure. Fuel emergency. Each emergency type has its own priority, its own procedures, and its own pressure. How you handle the next five minutes defines the outcome.
GROWING WORLD
LEPA is where it starts. LEIB (Ibiza), LEMH (Menorca), and LEBL (Barcelona) are coming as future expansions — each with its own traffic patterns, procedures, and challenges.
