Virtual ATC
Free, unscripted practice with a simulated AI controller — on the current weather, wind and runway in use at a chosen airfield, with the real aircraft near it. The traffic you hear about is what ADS-B shows right now, real callsigns included; when the circuit is empty it is simulated.
Practice aid only — not the official FRTOL test and not a guaranteed pass. Always defer to CAP 413, your instructor or examiner and the CAA. Frequencies and details are indicative for practice — check the current UK AIP before flying. Not for operational use.

Frequencies are for training practice only. Always verify against the current UK AIP and NOTAMs before flight.
Simulated trafficsimulated · practice only
Other aircraft on this frequency, at low volume — the real ones near the field when ADS-B shows any, simulated when it doesn't. Switch off to hear only your own calls.
Field open
Treated as open around the clock, whatever the real hours are, so you can practise normal calls at any time.
