Master ATC radio calls
before your checkride
ReadBack drills the radio and the theory behind it: phraseology, the phonetic alphabet, numbers, airspace and procedures — in short lessons. Then you fly a whole flight while an AI controller talks back and scores every readback.
Free plan: 2 radio sessions a day plus the full lesson path. No card.

Try a readback right now
This is exactly how a lesson works in the app — your callsign, a controller instruction, and the answer you would key the mic for.
Set up your aircraft
Pre-filled — change it if you fly something else.
Everything you need to sound like a pilot
Not a quiz app. You speak, the controller answers, and every word you owe them is checked.
Speak, don't tap
Hold the mic and say the readback out loud. ReadBack transcribes what you actually said — not what you meant to say.
An AI controller that answers
Ground, Tower and Approach respond in context through a full flight: taxi, departure, cruise, arrival, landing.
Scored on phraseology
Each readback is compared with what ATC expected, so you see the exact words you dropped.
Lessons before the mic
65+ lessons and 250+ exercises cover the alphabet, numbers, VFR and IFR calls, airspace and procedures — the knowledge behind the mic work, not just the mic work.
Real airports and frequencies
7 airports with their real layouts and frequencies, from Santa Monica to JFK.
Radio-quality audio
ATC comes through a radio filter, so you train your ear the way it sounds in the headset.
How ReadBack works
Three steps, the same loop every session.
- 01
Learn the phrase
Short lessons on the alphabet, numbers and standard calls — with hearts, streaks and stars so you keep coming back.
- 02
Fly the scenario
Pick an airport and a flight, hold the mic, and answer a controller that reacts to what you said.
- 03
See what you missed
Get a score per phase and the exact wording you owed the controller — then run it again.
