ATC Trainer: Radio Readback

Pilot Comms & NATO Alphabet

Free · In-App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Read back in your own words. The grader runs on your iPhone, checks what you meant instead of word order, and gives the same verdict every time. No ads, no account. Practice ATC radio calls out loud and get a verdict that does not wobble. A controller transmits, you key the mic and read back. Your transmission is graded element by element — callsign, runway, frequency, altitude, heading, squawk — on your device, with no network call and no model deciding how it feels today. Same readback, same verdict, every time. SAY IT LIKE A PILOT, NOT LIKE A SCRIPT Read the elements back in any order. Add "with you", "roger", your own filler — none of it costs you a point. Skip an optional element and you keep the credit. What gets checked is what the controller actually needs to hear back. "tree" or "three", "niner" or "nine", "fife" or "five" — all accepted. Your readback is judged on meaning. The controller still speaks strictly by the regional standard, so what you hear stays correct. MISHEARD IS NOT A MISTAKE When speech recognition does not catch you, it is not scored against you. You get a neutral prompt and a retry, and it does not count. A headset pulled out mid-transmission should not look like a botched clearance. 35 SCENARIOS, 187 EXCHANGES - VFR: traffic pattern, Class B and Class C transitions, flight following, Special VFR, closed traffic and the option, Delta transitions - IFR: full CRAFT clearances, void times at a closed tower, vectors, ILS, RNAV and visual approaches, holding, missed approach, en route with Center, weather deviation, pop-up clearance - Abnormal: go-around, rough engine, minimum fuel, windshear and runway change, weather diversion, traffic alert, VFR into weather, cancelled takeoff REAL RADIO, REAL WORKFLOW - Push to talk, the way you actually transmit - Built to work in a headset, wired or Bluetooth - Controller speed, pauses between element groups and radio-band effect, all adjustable - Pick the controller voice - Fully offline: recognition and grading both stay on the device NATO PHONETIC ALPHABET, FREE - All 26 letters and 10 digits, with audio and IPA - Morse code - Quiz you answer out loud - Translator: type a name, an address or a booking reference and read it back to the call centre letter by letter WHAT IS FREE The whole NATO layer and the translator. Radio realism, speed, pauses and voice selection — those are free too, because the material is what is sold, not the sound. Two of the 35 scenarios are free: the Melbourne traffic pattern and coastal flight following. No account, no card, no sign-up to try it. WHO IT IS FOR - Student pilots working toward a first solo or a checkride - Rated pilots getting current again after time off - Pilots who do not speak English as a first language and want the phraseology to come out without hesitating - Flight simmers getting ready for VATSIM or IVAO - Instructors who want a repeatable drill between lessons NO ADS Not now, not later. ATC TRAINER PRO Unlocks the remaining scenarios. Prices, trial length and renewal terms are shown on the purchase screen in your local currency before anything is charged. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. A subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel in your Apple Account settings. ATC Trainer is a practice aid for radio phraseology. It is not an FAA publication, not a substitute for instruction from a CFI, and not for use in flight. Airport, frequency and procedure data is there to make practice realistic and is not maintained for navigation.
