Air traffic control is the world's most stressful job, but not for you. You don't need heading angles, flight rules or meteorological reports, you're a natural! A prodigy! A born controller! Just touch and drag the planes to their runway.

- Incredibly simple, but amazingly engaging.
- Beautiful graphics and animation.
- Insanely addictive 'one more go' gameplay.

Flight Control now includes 4 airfields and 10 aircraft types:
- NEW! Venture into the Australian outback and see the Royal Flying Doctors Service in action. When their emergency planes appear, make sure you clear other air traffic from their path.
- Earn your wings on the beloved classic map that started it all!
- Coast into a relaxing beachside resort and guide the jets, helicopters and seaplanes in to land (or float...)
- Take the helm of the control center on an aircraft carrier and command military jets and helicopters. Watch out for the twist in this one ;)

Game features include:
- NEW! Multiplayer now supports all versions of iPhone and iPod touch device and operating system (requires access to a wireless network/Wi-Fi hotspot or a Bluetooth capable device with Apple iPhone OS 3.0)
- NEW! Listen to your own iTunes music by starting a playlist before you begin the game, or by using the iPhone OS3.0 music picker while you play - with or without game sound effects .
- Quick save and resume: whenever the game exits (for example, because you receive a phone call) your current game will be saved and be ready for you to resume the next time you play.
- Fast-forward the game and speed up the action. No more waiting impatiently for the first few planes to appear!
