TowerTalkFRTOL practice
Pass your FRTOL with confidence
TowerTalk lets you rehearse the UK Flight Radiotelephony Operator's Licence practical with a live AI controller — graded against CAP 413 — and sit full mock exams as many times as you like, until your radio calls are automatic.
Full mock FRTOL practicals
Sit the practical under realistic exam conditions and get a pass/fail report with the exact calls you got right and where you slipped.
Live AI air traffic control
Talk to an AI controller over push-to-talk — it replies like a real station and reacts to what you actually say, not a fixed script.
Graded on CAP 413
Every call is scored for phraseology, readbacks and standard format, with specific, actionable feedback after each exchange.
Unlimited repeats
Re-fly any scenario as often as you need. Most candidates fail on confidence and fluency — so we make repetition cheap and easy.

Frequently asked
What is the FRTOL?
The Flight Radiotelephony Operator's Licence is the UK licence that lets you operate an aircraft radio. The practical test assesses whether you can make standard radio calls correctly and handle normal and emergency situations on the frequency.
Can TowerTalk replace a real examiner?
No — TowerTalk is a practice and study aid. It helps you rehearse and build confidence so you walk into the real test prepared. Always sit the official test with a CAA-authorised examiner.
Do I need any equipment?
Just a browser and a microphone. TowerTalk runs on desktop, tablet and mobile — practise anywhere, including hands-free with the audio guides.
How is it graded?
An AI examiner scores your calls against standard CAP 413 radiotelephony practice — callsign use, mandatory readbacks, message format and emergency phraseology — and explains each result.
