About this app

**Free lessons always available, no subscription required to find out what ARSim can do for you**
Download and explore ARSim capabilities and how it can enhance your flight training experience with the free lessons and free trial period

The PlaneEnglish Aviation Radio Simulator (ARSim) is an interactive aviation radio simulator created to enable pilots to learn and master aviation radio communication, procedures, and phraseology and gain the confidence to overcome the fear and trepidation of talking to Air Traffic Control.

AI-based air traffic controllers and instantaneous feedback through voice recognition and speech analysis guide new pilots through realistic scenarios toward proficiency in aviation phraseology and communication.

The built-in training curriculum, step-by-step description of phraseology, and hundreds of randomized scenarios give you the opportunity to level up and to master this critical aviation skill.

The AIRPORT, PATTERN, and HOLD modules provide foundational knowledge on airport signs, markings, and lighting, on how to fly and communicate while operating in the pattern / circuit, and executing instrument holds. The touch-based and voice-based interactive capabilities of ARSim make every lesson engaging and informative, to help you gain new knowledge and to sharpen and refresh your existing skills.

You can access hundreds of airports, step through over 200 lessons, and experience thousands of scenarios and situations of interactions with air traffic control for all phases of VFR and IFR flight. In the process, you will earn FAA WINGS Credits for the VFR and IFR TRAINER, AIRPORT, and PATTERN modules.

Guided by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) phraseology, standards, and radiotelephony procedures, the training content offers you the ability to experience the aviation communication standards used across the world.

As new pilots, you can gain critical safety skills in an accessible and effective way and build critical muscle memory, thereby expanding the learning opportunities...beyond the classroom and outside of the cockpit.

Download ARSim and explore first-hand what it can do for you and your flight training experience. You will be able to try out the full functionality of ARSim with the always-available free content (in BASICS, AIRPORT, PATTERN, GLOSSARY, RESOURCES modules) and the free trial period. Don't forget to look around in Settings for the many customization options, phraseology standards, and primary flight displays.

A great idea, but the price is ridiculous. I went through the trainers and did the 3 day trial. the voice recognition is not that great. A simple ½ second pause in your announcement shuts off the mic and gives a poor score. It would be better if it would allow you to say everything you need to say, then grade it, and suggest saying it faster. Shutting off in mid sentence is very annoying to say the least.

Daniel, what you're experiencing is a limitation of the Android system, that doesn't allow pauses. If you simply change the ARSim Setting for Lesson Scoring to High Accuracy (instead of Fast) you will bypass this and use the better speech analysis model. The Android option is useful when offline, but its limitations can be easily overcome. Thx.

It's great in theory but it has a lot of problems. If you take a small pause, it stops recording and opens a window explaining. You have to close that window to continue every single time. It'd be better if they just scored you on how long it took so you could see your progress as you get quicker. There's also a recording started beep and ending beep that drives me crazy. You can't buy a single month, it's 6 mo min at $36ish. No lifetime. Really wish they'd fix a few things. Could be amazing

Thank you Lindsay for sharing. Unfortunately, the Android system is limited in the mic control and only stops automatically (iOS and web version do not suffer from this). If you check in Settings there is an option for an alternate speech analysis engine. Also, monthly in-app subscriptions are available on mobile devices (see Subscriptions). Thx

Unless I'm missing something, this app gives you a 14-day free trial. After that you need to subscribe for a monthly or annual fee. I've been a pilot for more than 50 years, so I know the ATC system pretty well. This app seems ok, but I checked its pronunciation of numbers; it doesn't pronounce TREE or NINER correctly. I haven't really explored too much else.

Thanks Bill for taking time to try out PlaneEnglish. The pronunciations of numbers (tree, niner, fife) is a known issue and will be addressed in the next update, which will come soon. Let us know any other feedback! thx
