Plan your next Air Traffic: Greenlight session
Our independent guide helps you deepen your understanding of Air Traffic: Greenlight’s core systems without promising hidden bonuses. By comparing documented mechanics, you can develop personal strategies that fit any airport or weather scenario.
01 / THE GUIDE
Radar Overlap Planning
Map out where existing radars intersect and note gaps. Compare aircraft density in each zone to anticipate where newly unlocked radars could improve coverage.
- Try keeping critical aircraft on radar when traffic density spikes.
- Use the unlocked radars to broaden coverage and make flying safer.
02 / THE GUIDE
Wind‑Runway Matching
Track wind changes over a ten‑minute period and record which runways remain usable. Use this data to anticipate runway switches before they become mandatory.
- Monitor the wind forecast before assigning a runway.
- Adjust missed‑approach headings when wind shifts sharply.
03 / THE GUIDE
Terrain Descent Profiles
Select a mountainous map and plot safe descent altitudes at regular intervals. Contrast these profiles with flat‑terrain airports to see how elevation alters approach planning.
- Pay attention to the terrain over which an aircraft is flying to gauge safe descent points.
- Give extra altitude clearance when flying over high terrain.
04 / THE GUIDE
Aircraft‑Runway Compatibility Chart
List a few common aircraft types and their takeoff/landing distances. Align these figures with runway lengths at a chosen airport to spot mismatches.
- Check an aircraft’s required runway length before assigning it.
- Prioritize fuel‑critical flights to avoid emergency landings.
