TowerTalkRadiotelephony revision
Revise radiotelephony the way you'll use it — out loud
Radiotelephony is a spoken skill, so revising it silently only gets you halfway. TowerTalk covers the whole UK RT syllabus as a free written guide and audiobook, then lets you practise every topic by voice with an AI controller that talks back.
The full topic map
Phonetic alphabet and numbers, message structure, callsigns and abbreviation, mandatory readbacks, types of ATC service, aerodrome and circuit calls, zone and MATZ penetration, position reports, and urgency and distress procedures.
Read it or hear it
Every topic exists as written notes and as an audiobook chapter — revise visually at your desk or by ear on the move, whichever sticks better for you.
Then say it
Each topic links to spoken exercises: make the actual calls to an AI station — Tower, Radar, AFIS or Air/Ground — and get instant, specific feedback.
Copying practice too
The RT exam isn't just transmitting — you must copy clearances accurately. Drill listening and readback with realistic transmissions at real speed.

Frequently asked
What topics does UK radiotelephony revision cover?
The core areas are: the phonetic alphabet and number pronunciation, standard message structure and callsign use, mandatory readbacks, the different types of air traffic service, aerodrome and circuit phraseology, airspace and MATZ crossing calls, position reporting, and emergency procedures (PAN PAN and MAYDAY).
Is the revision guide free?
Yes — the written revision guide is free to read. Spoken practice with the AI controller is free to start, no card needed.
What's the best way to revise RT?
Little and often, and out loud. Fluency under mild pressure is what examiners notice, and it only comes from actually speaking the calls — which is exactly what the AI controller is for.
Does it cover the UK standard specifically?
Yes — TowerTalk is built for UK radiotelephony practice and grades against CAP 413, the CAA's radiotelephony manual, including UK-specific procedures like MATZ penetration and UK service types.
