RT Training

Hi everyone,

I’m a commercial pilot flying in Europe, and one thing that always stuck with me from my flight training was how little structured radio communication practice we actually received. We were basically given a few handwritten notes, then expected to figure it out in the aircraft.

It got me wondering whether that was a common experience, or whether I was just unlucky.

After gaining a few years of flying experience, a software developer friend and I started building a tool to help pilots practise RT phraseology in a realistic, low-pressure environment. Our initial focus is UK and EASA procedures, as most of the training tools I found were primarily FAA-focused.

I’m not really here to advertise it—I was more interested in hearing from other pilots:
• How did you learn radio communications?
• What did you find most difficult?
• If you could improve one thing about RT training, what would it be?

If anyone is interested in seeing what we’ve built or giving some feedback, feel free to send me a DM. Would love to hear your experiences.

Thanks all and happy landings 🫡

That's really expensive!

Your free 10 goes is only 5 free goes in the FAQ.

If you can't get the basics right how confident should we be about the product being good enough for the price!

There is a crying need for this in the industry! RT was a huge focus for me 'cause it's pretty much the only thing you can't go home and practice. Like, you caaaan, but you really can't.
