Frequently asked

Who is this for?

UK student pilots and qualified pilots who want to stay sharp, plus instructors and schools. Beginners start with the basics; experienced pilots jump to scenarios and mock exams.

Which standard does it follow?

UK CAP 413 by default. ICAO and US/FAA phraseology are also available — switch the standard and the content, AI controller and grading follow it.

Is it a substitute for instruction?

No. TowerTalk is a training and simulation aid designed to support your radio practice — it does not replace official instruction or examiner assessment.

Is there a free version?

Yes — you can learn and make practice calls for free, with no card required, then upgrade for unlimited graded practice.
