ATC is a big part of both Airline and Cargo piloting. Here we will discuss what ATC is, why it is important, and how to operate. ATC, like used in the real world, is used in TT to alert other pilots of everyone else's surroundings. Our ATC system is primarily used for landing and taking off on runways. The reason this is so important is to avoid air traffic collisions.<span style="color:#FF3232">'''THIS IS A MANDATORY RULE TO FOLLOW'''.</span> To use the ATC system in-game, you will need to be in a plane. Press the TAB key to open up the ATC menu, you will see a list of airports, select the one you are at. The closest airport will be marked with a green ribbon.

Double-check if the runway has changed to a green color. If it has, you will have a few seconds to initiate takeoff.

ATC on landing is a very similar concept. When you approach your destination airport, think of which runway best suits you. Consider your current Bearing, Plane, and Distance. At airports, there are 3 types of Runway: MAIN, JET, and SIDE. Learn to use these appropriately and many players will thank you for it. Firstly the JET runway. As implied by the name, this runway is for small aircraft. Usually, these runways have far less wingspan accommodation and running length. When new to airline piloting, please ensure you use these runways (when available) as to not inconvenience larger aircraft such as an A350. The second runway is MAIN, this is a large runway that can accommodate both Heavy and Light aircraft and is usually the player's first choice. SIDE is the same as MAIN despite location and name, used for when airport traffic is heavy and Pilots need an alternate runway to land at.

When you are new to '''Cargo Piloting''', you will start out in a light aircraft. As you fly you will most likely see in the chat that a <span class="" style="color:red">[HEAVY]</span> plane has requested takeoff or land. Bigger aircraft's speed, wingspan, and stopping distance increase, meaning they are unable to land on JET runways. This is why it's important to land at JET runways if you are able to, meaning that the MAIN/SIDE runways are available for heavier planes to land.

Cargo pilotCargo emoji.png is one of the jobs (and skills) available in Transport Tycoon. As a cargo pilot you will transport passengers with airplanes between various airports using Air Traffic Control (ATC). You will have to start off with a small airplane and gradually work your way up to take control of huge airliners. Like any tiered job, your pay will depend heavily on your progress within the skill.

Getting Started

Using Air Traffic Control (ATC) is mandatory, so read the instructions before flying. Failure to use ATC can result in bans.

Airplanes are expensive, so consider doing another job first such as Garbage Collector or take a Loan. Cargo will eventually deplete in high-demand areas, meaning that longer routes are more sustainable. Delivering and Taking cargo depletes stocks. If airports are not loading while flying then enable Settings → Advanced Graphics → High Detail Streaming While Flying.

  1. Visit any Job CenterJobCenter.png (except for Life Invader) or have the appropriate job card and change your job to Cargo Pilot.
  2. To buy your first plane, you will need to visit the Aircraft Dealership Aircraft Shop.png , located on the north-western side of the airport behind the Los Santos Customs LS Customs.png (You MUST use a cargo-specific aircraft for this job, no exceptions. You will also be required to have Strength level 8 to carry the cargo).
  3. Once you have bought your plane you will need to taxi to a yellow crate Air Cargo.png , a menu on the right side of the screen should pop up, if not, try to position yourself differently, so that the plane icon overlaps the crate icon on your minimap.
  4. Purchase some cargo of your choice (Based on levels & stocks), It will display the airport it can be taken to, these airports will give you the reward.
    • Make sure to also fill up the Trunk of the cargo plane you are using!
  5. Unlike Airline piloting, your destination is not shown on your minimap, so if you don't know where the airport you're flying to is located, be sure to open your map before takeoff and mark it by double-clicking on the yellow crateAir Cargo.png at the destination airport. A map of all airports can be seen below.
  6. Once you have delivered the Cargo, you will be rewarded with money and EXP.

Air Traffic Control (ATC)

Air Traffic Control (ATC) is a MANDATORY. part of using an airplane. ATC, like in the real world, is used during landing and taking off on runways to avoid air traffic collisions. ATC is not required when operating a helicopter or VTOL. As a new pilot you start with a small airplane and you must use the JET runways at the airports. Larger aircraft can only use larger MAIN and SIDE runways as they have higher speed, wingspan, and stopping distance increases.

ATC on takeoff Take Off.png

Press the TAB key while in an airplane to open up the ATC menu with a list of airports. The closest airport will be marked with a green ribbon. Check if the JET runway (if available at your airport) is clear (yellow color on map), and then request takeoff before entering the runway. If you are unsure which runway is which, refer to the airport runway map on this page. Double-check if the runway has changed to a green color. If it has, you will have a few seconds to initiate takeoff on the runway. You can take off in both directions of a runway, but not sideways. If no runway is available for takeoff, you must wait for one to become available. On rare occasions the ATC system may give green light for two airplanes to takeoff at the same time.

ATC on landing Land.png

ATC on landing is a very similar concept to takeoff. When you approach your destination airport, think of which runway best suits you. Consider your current bearing, airplane, and distance. As you start off with a small airplane, you should select the JET runway if available at your destination airport. If the runway has changed green, you have a few seconds to land your plane on the runway in both directions of a runway, but not sideways. If no runway is available, you must circle your airplane in the air until one becomes available. On rare occasions the ATC system may give green light to two airplanes to land at the same time.

Airports

You can refer to the following map for an overview of all airports with their identification codes and MAIN, SIDE and JET runways.
