Sector 33 is a mobile app for the Apple and Android mobile platforms that provides a single-user, interactive air traffic control simulator (game) for mobile devices. The main features of the app include an interactive air traffic control simulation with numerous problems for two to five airplanes; introductory videos on air traffic control; scoring for the problems; awards for reaching levels of achievement; integrated solution hints; a short introduction to the simulator; help; and hints for simple proportional reasoning math needed to solve the problems perfectly.

This work was done by Gregory Condon and Rebecca Green of Lockheed Martin Space OPS, and William Preston and Jon Freitas of Dell Services Federal Government for Ames Research Center.
