Welcome to the ATC wiki!

Background

ATC stands for Air Traffic Controllers, which is the role you take in this simulator.

Air traffic control (ATC) is a service provided by ground-based controllers who direct aircraft on the ground and through controlled airspace, and can provide advisory services to aircraft in non-controlled airspace. The primary purpose of ATC worldwide is to prevent collisions, organize and expedite the flow of traffic, and provide information and other support for pilots. - Wikipedia
