Tower 27

One aircraft on approach. Another waiting to depart. You coordinate what happens next.

Take the tower at New York JFK in Tower 27. Watch arriving and departing aircraft, select a flight and issue its next instruction. From the runway to the apron, each movement is part of the airport's wider flow.

FROM ARRIVAL TO DEPARTURE Manage arriving traffic and guide aircraft through their next steps on the ground. Coordinate pushback, taxi, line-up and takeoff. Follow traffic as it moves around the airport and keep track of more than one aircraft at a time.

PUT EACH INSTRUCTION IN CONTEXT Select an aircraft, check its state and follow the on-screen radio exchanges. Decide when it is ready for its next step. Tower 27 connects the view from the tower with the individual movements on the apron and runway.

CHANGE YOUR POINT OF VIEW Watch the airport from the tower or follow an aircraft up close. Switch views to inspect activity on the ground and see how aircraft, taxi routes and apron operations fit together.

BUILD YOUR LOCAL CAREER Learn the flow through training shifts and continue your local career. Airport equipment upgrades add another dimension to your progress, giving each new shift a place in your own tower career.

DESIGNED FOR IPHONE Play in landscape with an English-language interface. Radio exchanges appear as text; the current version does not include spoken radio audio.

For people who enjoy watching airports and want to coordinate the action themselves. Tower 27 is an entertainment simulation, not an aviation training or operational tool.
