1. Open the menu, pick runway directions, and mark each active runway for DEP, ARR, or both.

2. Set AAR and ADR as target hourly flow rates. Traffic spacing is intentionally uneven, so busy periods can bunch up a little without landing every aircraft on an exact timer.

3. When a departure requests pushback, right-click it and choose Tail Left, Tail Right, or Straight Back to place it onto the taxi line behind the stand.

4. Left-click any controllable aircraft to start drawing taxi. Click along taxiways to build the route, then double-click, press Enter, or click the same endpoint again to confirm.

5. You can also give a partial taxi. If you confirm on any ordinary taxi node, the aircraft will stop there and wait for more instructions.

6. Press Escape or left-click empty pavement to cancel selection and clear the aircraft ring. To stop an aircraft mid-taxi, right-click it and choose Hold Position - it stops in place and you can draw it a new route right away.

7. At a runway hold point, right-click a departure and use Contact Tower to hand it off. If you need to reclaim it, just select it again and draw a new taxi route.

8. Arrivals land, pick an exit based on where they are expected to park, clear the runway on their own, and then wait for you to route them onward.

9. Airline parking preferences are set with zone checkboxes. Current YYZ zones are T1, T3, Infield, FedEx, and Cargo West.

10. Every aircraft's ring shows what it's waiting on: violet means ready to push, cyan means ready to taxi (also lights up if a taxiing aircraft stalls behind traffic and needs a new route), and amber means ready for takeoff clearance - right-click to contact tower. No ring means it's already moving under a route and doesn't need anything from you yet.
