Red Griffin ATC provides support for the below aircraft types. Each of them uses specific operational values and used by Red Griffin ATC in determining the procedures of approach and landing, such as minimum cruise altitude, speed, approach and pattern distance. The currently selected aircraft type is always shown in the main dialog's title bar. For each aircraft type are used the below values: | Red Griffin ATC provides support for the below aircraft types.

Red Griffin ATC radio support and use rely on FlightGear properties and, for this reason, it is essential for the aircraft to provide a functional implementation of both the radio stack and transponder. Red Griffin ATC has been extensively tested with tens of aircraft and, according to these tests, not all aircraft seem to provide a complete implementation of COM radios and transponder. In this particular case, those aircraft will not work because of lack of fundamental properties needed by Red Griffin ATC. As of version 2.2.0, Red Griffin ATC uses and relies on the following radio properties for each COM radio: | Red Griffin ATC radio support and use rely on FlightGear properties and, for this reason, it is essential for the aircraft to provide a functional implementation of both the radio stack and transponder.
