PFControl: ATC strip management for Project Flight

I started building PFControl when I was 15. The goal was simple: give air traffic controllers on Project Flight a strip system that feels like the real thing — fast to use, reliable under load, and built for people who actually control traffic every day.

What it does

PFControl is a web-based ATC strip management platform. Controllers get a digital strip board for tracking aircraft through clearance, ground, tower, and handoff phases. Instead of juggling spreadsheets or improvised tools, everything lives in one interface tuned for VATSIM-style operations.

The platform has grown into one of the most-used tools in the Project Flight ecosystem, with thousands of registered users and around 500 daily active users.

Why strips matter

Electronic flight strips are how controllers maintain situational awareness. A good strip system needs to show aircraft state at a glance, let you move strips between bays as aircraft progress, stay responsive when dozens of aircraft are active, and sync state so multiple controllers are never working from stale data.

Where it's going

PFControl is still actively developed. I'm working on deeper integrations with the networks controllers already use, better multi-position coordination, and polish in the areas power users ask for most.

If you control on Project Flight and haven't tried it yet, check it out. Or if you are a developer you can contribute here

If you have feedback I'd love to hear it.
