About this app

Nervous about talking to ATC? ReadBack combines bite-sized lessons with realistic voice practice — so you build skills step by step and apply them in lifelike radio sessions.

▸ TWO WAYS TO TRAIN

Learn mode: gamified exercises inspired by Duolingo and Brilliant. Short lessons on phonetics, numbers, phraseology, and readbacks — with multiple choice, speak-back, yes/no, and repeat exercises. Complete lessons, earn XP, and progress through levels on a visual flight-route map.

Practice mode: full voice-based ATC simulations at real airports. Speak into your mic, hear AI controllers respond with radio-filtered voices, and get detailed feedback after each session.

Both modes work together. Learn the fundamentals, then apply them in realistic radio scenarios.

▸ GAMIFIED LEARNING PATH

Your training is a flight journey. Each lesson is an airfield checkpoint on your route. Complete a level and your plane takes off to the next destination.

- Phonetics & Numbers — master the NATO alphabet, pronounce callsigns and altitudes correctly
- Directions & Spatial — headings, taxi instructions, left/right base, crosswind
- Phraseology — standard ATC phrases, readbacks, and clearance requests
- Multiple exercise types — speak, tap, choose, repeat

▸ REALISTIC ATC SIMULATOR

Pick a scenario at a real airport — JFK, LAX, SFO, SAN, SMO. ReadBack generates a unique session with dynamic conditions. No two sessions are the same.

- Speak naturally — AI listens and responds like a real controller
- Radio filter effect — train your ear for how ATC actually sounds
- Dynamic weather, traffic, and runway assignments
- Automatic frequency handoffs — you do the readback, the system switches

▸ AI-POWERED FEEDBACK

Your evaluation comes after the session, not during — so you focus on communication, not scores. Each review breaks down what you said, what ATC expected, and where to improve.

▸ THREE DIFFICULTY LEVELS

Easy — 3-5 exchanges, pattern work, single departure
Medium — 6-10 exchanges, arrivals, departures with vectors
Hard — 12-20 exchanges, complex scenarios with weather and traffic

▸ BUILT FOR STUDENT PILOTS

Designed for the moments that make you nervous:
- First solo tower communication
- Navigating Class B and C airspace
- Handling go-arounds and hold-short instructions
- Checkride preparation with realistic exchanges
