Tokyo from the captain’s seat
Fly from the cockpit at Haneda and Narita, built from the real runway layouts. Out the window: Tokyo Bay, the city skyline, Tokyo Skytree and, on a clear day, Mt. Fuji.
Your instruments do the talking: the primary flight display, the navigation display, the ILS diamonds and the PAPI lights beside the runway. The goal is to land so gently, crosswind and all, that your passengers barely notice.
- Airports
- Four runways at Haneda, two at Narita. Choose your departure and arrival runways.
- Handling
- “Realistic” for a hands-on feel, or “Easy” to hold your attitude for you. A 10-step guide on your first flight.
- Conditions
- North or south winds, strong crosswinds, turbulence, engine failure, day or dusk.
- Aircraft
- Small, mid-size and large.
- Scoring
- Graded on your touchdown and passenger comfort. Best scores and replays are saved.
How a flight works
- TakeoffPush the throttle up and pull back gently when the speed tape reaches the VR mark.
- ClimbRaise the gear, then retract the flaps as you pick up speed.
- CruisePress AUTO to follow the route. You can speed up time 2× or 4×.
- ApproachNear the airport, extend the flaps and gear, then keep the ILS diamonds centered as you descend.
- LandingPull the throttle back, raise the nose slightly and touch down. Brakes and reverse thrust bring you to a stop.
Approach going wrong? Press TO/GA to go around. A new approach is planned for you automatically.

FAQ
Is the game in English?
The menus are in Japanese for now. Use the start screen guide above; the cockpit buttons and instruments use English labels, and air traffic control speaks English.
Can I play on my phone?
Yes, in portrait or landscape. Landscape puts the instruments on the right and gives you a wider view. If it runs slowly, set the graphics quality to 低 (low) in the settings (設定).
I can’t hear anything
Browsers block sound until you tap the screen once. If it’s still silent, check the 音 (sound) button at the top of the screen and the volume in the settings.
Takeoff and landing are hard
On the start screen, set 操縦特性 (handling) to やさしい (easy) and the aircraft will hold its attitude for you. Your first flight shows a step-by-step guide at the top of the screen, and AUTO can fly the cruise.
Where is my progress saved?
Only in your browser. It doesn’t carry over to other devices or browsers, and clearing your browser data erases it.
Is this how real pilots fly?
It borrows from real procedures, but the controls and flight behavior are simplified for the game. Don’t use it for real-world flying, training or navigation.
Privacy and notes
The game doesn’t collect personal information. Your settings and records stay in your browser. There are no ads or analytics tools.
It only connects to the internet to load the game and, if you choose real weather (天気: 実際), to send the coordinates of Haneda or Narita airport to the weather service Open-Meteo and receive the wind and visibility. Your own location is never sent.
The tilt sensor is used only if you turn on tilt controls, and its readings stay on your device.
