'''ATC-pie''' is an [[air traffic control]] simulation program featuring solo sessions, multi-player network connections (through [[FGMS]]) and tutorial sessions for teacher supervision of an ATC student. It can simulate en-route centre control (CTR) as well as airport-based services (TWR, APP, GND...), and allows 3D tower viewing through [[FlightGear]].

The program is free and open source, and programmed in Python3 for Qt5 hence system-independant. Only Python3 and its Qt5 bindings must be installed. That done, it is meant to work straight away, with no make/compile command to run or external resource to install. The whole world is immediately available on radar. Tower viewing requires the appropriate FlightGear aircraft and scenery.
