Description from the packaging.

Real time control tower simulation that puts you in the controller's chair.

Based on FAA and Transport Canada training simulation software, Tower takes you into a world of authority and responsibility in which the lives of thousands of passengers depend on your ability to make split-second decisions. As a tower controller, you handle realistic aircraft takeoffs and landings, as well as aircraft ground movements, all of which are viewable through a panable 360 degree window.

Runways, taxiways, aprons, flight paths, obstructions and airport structures are faithfully depicted from actual FAA information. Photo-realistic graphics, east access information and radar displays give you a view of the airport vicinity, arriving and departing aircraft and ground activity. Scrolling communications channels keep you informed of all radio activity. Keyboard inputs invoke digitized verbal responses that communicate precise commands and control information between pilots and controllers.

So if you think you're up to the challenge, get your head out of the clouds and get into the control Tower from BAO. Anything else is just a game!
