Questions.

01What can I use for free?

KSAN is free with Clearance, Ground, Tower, Departure and Approach, spoken pilot readbacks, live METAR, ATIS entry and the session debrief. It does not expire and does not require a card.

02Is Pro a subscription?+

No. ProjectATC Pro is a one-time purchase. Pro permanently unlocks all eleven airports, scenarios, operational events and cloud history on your account.

03Do I need to download or install anything?+

No. ProjectATC runs in a web browser. A keyboard and a wide screen are required during a session.

04How realistic is it?+

Runways, frequencies and procedures use published FAA data; surface layouts use OpenStreetMap. Published SIDs are imported from the FAA CIFP and reviewed for clearance phraseology. The simulator is for practice, not real-world navigation or certified training.

05Will it help me prepare for VATSIM or IVAO controller ratings?+

It can provide extra practice between mentored sessions, especially for phraseology, readbacks and basic sequencing. It is independent, is not affiliated with VATSIM or IVAO, and does not replace a facility’s training program.

06Do I type or speak my instructions?+

You type instructions or use the contextual instruction buttons. Pilots answer out loud. Spoken controller input is not available yet.

07Can pilots make mistakes?+

Yes. Some readbacks contain a wrong runway, squawk, altitude or heading. Pro free-play sessions can also include events such as wrong taxi turns, blocked frequencies and priority arrivals.
