Opinion:

Simple, yet fun and addictive is one way to describe Flight Control.
The whole premise of the game is to draw navigation patterns for jumbo jets, helicopters and biplanes so that they can land without crashing into each other. As you land more and more flying apparatuses the patterns become more and more complicated. The planes start coming in faster and getting in each other's way. It becomes pretty hectic pretty quick, and if there is a crash the game is over.

When Flight Control first came out it featured only one map, since then half a dozen others have been added along with new game mechanics (such as asteroids on the moon). Flight Control's puzzly action is accompanied by a great soundtrack and really sharp, great looking textures (graphics). The overall style they picked suits the game very well.

Being a 99 cent proposition (for a limited time FREE) Flight Control is not a game one should miss.  It makes a great bathroom companion either on iPad or iPhone.
