Air Traffic Control Simulator

TowerBound

Clear to land. You have control.

TowerBound is a full-stack ATC simulation where you staff every position in the tower and radar room, from Flight Data and Ramp at a sleepy Class F strip to Approach, Departure, and Air Traffic Director at a Class A en-route center. Progress through a certification matrix — certify every applicable role at a class before the next opens — across 28 airports and 34 aircraft types ranging from Cessna pistons to A380 superjumbos. MapLibre airport maps give you a geographic underlay for radar and ground control, with a canvas ATC overlay tracking every blip in real time.

What you’ll do

Airspace career matrix

Certify every ATC position at each airspace class — Class F advisory through Class A en-route center — before the next tier unlocks. No skipping ranks.

28 airports, 34 aircraft

From single-strip GA fields to major international hubs, with a fleet spanning GA pistons, turboprops, bizjets, regional jets, narrowbodies, widebodies, heavies, and the A380 super.

Geographic airport maps

MapLibre basemap with runway/taxiway/gate geometry plus a transparent canvas ATC overlay — switch between radar mode and ground mode per position.

Real ATC phraseology

Clearances, advisories, and readbacks generated in authentic US ATC phraseology — flight levels above FL180, feet below, and correct position-specific call formats.

Full position stack

Staff Flight Data, Ramp, Clearance Delivery, Ground, Local (Tower), Approach, Departure, Airport Ops, and Air Traffic Director — each with distinct duties and traffic.

Real-time traffic simulation

Client-driven ticks keep aircraft moving every few seconds with smooth interpolation between updates, backed by an AI traffic spawner with class-appropriate fleet mixes.
