A game or a reflection of a deadly reality? This animated demo of ^1TRACON^0
introduces you to the nerve-wracking environment of an Air Traffic Controller.
Your pulse will quicken as more and more aircraft enter your sector of air
space. Pay close attention, one moment of indecision could cost lives!
It looks simple -- just keep every blip on your scope apart as you vector
them around for approaches and departures. But they keep coming, pushing you
to your limits. And you alone can prevent a dreaded crash between airliners
loaded with passengers.
In this first-ever microcomputer simulation of a Terminal Radar
Approach CONtrol facility -- created by a PhD ATC simulation expert, an FAA
R&D manager, and professional controllers -- you'll enter the inner sanctum of
air traffic control. Handle traffic on a "real" ATC radar scope. Adjust
traffic loads from no-sweat midnight levels to a five-o'clock rush. Choose
lousy pilots and stormy weather to test your skill with pilot errors and
go-arounds.
FAA insiders compare TRACON with million-dollor ATC trainers. It gives you
a realistic traffic mix from Piper Cubs to Boeing 747s in any of five
control sectors: Los Angeles, San Francisco, Miami, Chicago, and Boston. Yet
no experience is necessary: a detailed manual, sample scenarios, and an audio
cassette demo tape train you in ATC procedures and jargon.
A game? Hardly. TRACON mirrors a world where decisions determine not
revenues or profits, but lives!
Watch the drama unfold in this animated demo, then try your own hand at
guiding airliners to safety. To order your own copy of TRACON for only
