Wilco: ATC Radio Trainer
Pilot radio calls & readback
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Tested radio calls for student pilots: hear the controller, key the mic, get graded on every element — by an app that understands niner, tree, fife and your callsign.
Sound like a pilot before you key the mic.
Wilco is radio-call practice for student pilots: hear the controller, push to talk, say your call, and get graded element by element — by an app built to understand how pilots actually speak. Niner, tree, fife. Phonetic letters. Your own callsign. Your words, not a rigid script: say "with Kilo" where "information Kilo" is legal and you pass, because that's how it works on frequency.
LEARN IT BEFORE YOU'RE TESTED
Every drill starts with a Learn card: the canonical phrase, why it matters, and the FAA source it comes from — AIM chapter and Pilot/Controller Glossary entry, cited right on screen. Check us against the book any time. That's the point.
WHAT'S FREE — AND STAYS FREE
• 60 drills across six modules — fundamentals, ATIS and clearance, ground, tower, departure and flight following, and untowered CTAF work.
• The full guided loop: controller speaks (through a proper radio-band effect), the mic arms, you talk, every element is graded with a calm explanation of anything you missed — then "say again" just the missed piece.
• Spaced review that resurfaces calls before you forget them, with your own tail number in every prompt.
• Type-to-respond for silent practice anywhere — no mic, no problem.
• Your first two full scenario flights.
WILCO PRO — THE WHOLE FLIGHT, PLUS A COACH
• All six scenario flights: ATIS to clearance to taxi to takeoff to handoff, one radio call at a time, with frequencies and runways that stay consistent the whole flight — plus arrivals, pattern work, flight following, CTAF, and the go-around.
• AI debrief after every flight: what happened, why it matters, and exactly how to say it better — in proper phraseology, citing the AIM where the lesson does.
CALM, LIKE REAL TRAINING SHOULD BE
No angry controller gimmick. No shaming. Misses are amber, explained, and retryable. Real controllers aren't out to get you, and neither are we.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Speech recognition runs entirely on your iPhone — practice audio never leaves the device. No account, no ads, no tracking. Progress syncs through your own private iCloud. The only thing that ever goes online is the debrief you ask for as a Pro member.
