For pilots, controllers, and other radiotelephony operators renewing an ICAO English rating. You know standard phraseology cold. This is for the plain English, the accents, and the structure under pressure.

Your level is the lowest of the six skills ICAO rates

Pronunciation, structure, vocabulary, fluency, comprehension, interactions — a rater takes the minimum of all six, not the average. Fluent candidates fail every day because they mangle numbers under pressure or lose the thread of an unfamiliar accent. Strength in five skills does not cover a weakness in the sixth.

What you get

  • Realistic exchanges, real accents

    Pilot/ATC exchanges and plain-English situation prompts, spoken by a bank of accented voices, clean or radio-degraded.

  • Eight scenario domains

    Weather, technical failures, medical emergencies, runway incursions, fuel, diversions, ground operations, security.

  • Model answers at three levels

    The same prompt answered at Level 4, Level 5 and Level 6, so you hear the difference instead of reading about it.

  • Pronunciation drills for your first language

    Targeted at the intelligibility slips typical of your first language, not generic pronunciation practice.

  • A player built for a crew room

    Works one-handed, on a locked screen, in the background. Your place is saved the moment you stop.

Listen before you decide

One track, no account needed. This is what a clean exchange sounds like before we add radio noise.
