Multi Pass

Master complex air traffic management by coordinating multiple aircraft through waypoints, managing flight strips, and responding to audio callsign challenges.

< Back to ATCO Europe SW

Objective

Guide aircraft safely through waypoints by correctly classifying flight strips into appropriate waypoint boxes, respond to audio callsign challenges, and prevent collisions.

How It Works

This game combines visual air traffic management with audio recognition challenges. Flight strips appear in the 'New Flights' area before the aircraft spawns on the radar. You must drag each strip to the correct waypoint box matching the aircraft's next waypoint before the timer expires. Each time the aircraft passes a waypoint, a new classification timer starts for the next waypoint, requiring you to move the strip again. You can also change an aircraft's route by clicking waypoints in the strip and selecting an alternative path, and change flight levels by clicking the flight level label. When audio is enabled, you must additionally respond to callsign challenges. After an aircraft passes its final waypoint, click 'Hand Over' on the strip. The game tests your ability to manage multiple information streams and make quick decisions under time pressure.

Step-by-step Instructions

Monitor aircraft moving through the airspace between waypoints
When a new aircraft is about to enter the airspace, its flight strip appears in the 'New Flights' area before the aircraft spawns on the radar
Drag the flight strip to the correct waypoint box (matching the aircraft's next waypoint) before the timer expires
Each time the aircraft passes a waypoint, a new classification timer starts — move the strip to the next waypoint box
Each waypoint box corresponds to a specific waypoint (EN, OS, FN, FS, ES, ON)
Click on waypoints in a strip to change the aircraft's route by selecting from available alternative routes
Change an aircraft's flight level by clicking the flight level label on the strip
If audio is enabled, listen for callsigns and press CONFIRM when you hear the example callsign
Prevent aircraft collisions by monitoring their paths
Click 'Hand Over' on flight strips when aircraft have passed their final waypoint

Skills You Develop

Multi-tasking and divided attention
Visual-spatial organization and strip management
Audio recognition and response
Quick decision making under time pressure
Waypoint navigation understanding
Collision detection and prevention
Working memory for tracking multiple aircraft simultaneously

Coaching Tips

Learn the waypoint layout and which boxes correspond to which waypoints
Classify strips as soon as they appear — the timer starts before the aircraft even spawns
After each waypoint is passed, move the strip to the next waypoint box promptly
Click waypoints in the strip to explore alternative routes when needed
When audio is enabled, focus on the example callsign shown in the label
Press CONFIRM only when you hear the example callsign in the audio sequence
Prioritize strip classification before the timer expires
Monitor aircraft paths to anticipate potential collisions
Use the waypoint sequence and estimated times on each strip to plan ahead
Remember that aircraft must pass their final waypoint before handover
