Flight Control is a computer game released in March 2009 that is about landing airplanes on runways without them colliding. It has been published for numerous platforms. The versions of the game for iPad , PlayStation 3 , Windows and Mac are called Flight Control HD . A successor to the Flight Control Rocket was released in March 2012.

Style of play
The surface of the game shows the runways of an airport from a bird's eye view. The individual lanes are assigned to certain classes of aircraft (helicopter, propeller plane, jet) via a color code. From the edge of the screen, helicopters and planes approach from different directions and their number increases as the game progresses. It is the player's task to assign each aircraft a collision-free approach course and a suitable runway. For each landed aircraft, the player is awarded one point. The game ends when two planes or helicopters collide.
Flight Control supported Apple's Game Center .
