Main task: radar
Air traffic control
Aircraft follow fixed headings across a five by five grid. Resolve conflicts by changing the colour of one aircraft. The radar keeps running while you complete bonus tasks.
Who it is for
Practice for pilots and air traffic controllers.
Wombat Trainer offers two variants: radar and tracking. In both, you divide your attention between the main task and three bonus tasks.

Choose your main task.
Main task: tracking
Pilot
Use both hands to control separate elements: keep the hexagon within its size limits and the cross on its target. You can enable Autotrack, but you need to watch for failures and take control again.
Pilots
Tracking practice for pilots.
In the pilot variant, you control a hexagon and a cross with both hands. Practise coordination and tracking while dividing your attention between the main task, Autotrack and the bonus tasks.
