Practise with an AI air traffic controller

Reading phraseology isn't the same as saying it under pressure. TowerTalk's AI controller talks back like a real station — at real UK airfields with the current weather and runway in use — so you can rehearse your radio calls as often as you like.

Talks back like a real station

Push-to-talk to an AI controller that responds to what you actually say — not a fixed script — and sequences you with real nearby traffic.

Real airfields, real weather, real traffic

Practise at real UK aerodromes using the current METAR, QNH and runway in use right now — and when there are aircraft near the field, the traffic you hear about is the real traffic, from ADS-B, with real callsigns. When there are none, it is simulated and labelled as such.

Emergencies & controlled airspace

Rehearse PAN-PAN and MAYDAY calls, zone transits and MATZ penetration in a safe place.

Frequently asked

Is this a real ATC service?

No. The AI controller is a practice tool only — frequencies, traffic and weather are indicative or for training, not for operational use. Always defer to CAP 413 and live ATC for real flights.

Do I speak out loud?

Yes — it's voice, over push-to-talk, so you practise actually saying the calls. A microphone is all you need.

Which phraseology does it use?

UK CAP 413 by default; you can switch to US/FAA and the controller, grading and content follow that standard.

Is it free to try?

Yes — you can make practice calls to the AI controller for free, no card required.
