Tower Drill

ATC Radio Training

Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Practice ATC radio calls out loud. Start with 5 free lessons, then unlock 15 lessons and 78 drills with Tower Drill Pro. Tower Drill helps student pilots beat mic fright before the next flight lesson. Radio work is not learned by rereading phraseology. It is learned by hearing a call, finding your aircraft, holding push-to-talk, and saying the readback out loud. Tower Drill turns that process into short, repeatable practice sessions on iPhone and iPad. PRACTICE LIKE A PILOT Listen to realistic ATC instructions, hold PTT, speak your readback, and get scored on the words that matter. Training mode shows exactly what to say; Coached mode provides key items; and Solo mode hides the hints until you are ready. BUILT FOR STUDENT PILOTS Tower Drill includes 15 structured lessons and 78 drills and scenarios covering: * ICAO phonetics and aviation numbers * Standard radio phrases * First contact calls * Readback requirements * ATIS and weather * IFR clearance copying * Squawk codes and transponder instructions * Traffic pattern and landing calls * Taxi routes and runway crossings * VFR flight following * Airspace transitions * Non-towered airport calls * Emergency communications * Busy frequency practice * Full IFR departure flow FREE TO START The first 5 lessons are free, including 24 spoken drills. Tower Drill Pro unlocks all 15 lessons, 78 drills, and scenarios with a one-time purchase. OPTIONAL ON-DEVICE AI Guided lessons work without downloading the AI model. When enabled, the optional on-device AI model adds more varied ATC phrasing and richer busy-frequency practice, including background radio traffic and other aircraft readbacks. YOUR AIRCRAFT PLACARD Each lesson gives you a lesson-specific aircraft, such as N456GH C172. The placard stays visible during the lesson so you can refer to your callsign and aircraft type instead of memorizing them. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Speech recognition runs on a device. The optional AI model runs on the device after it is downloaded. No accounts, tracking, analytics, audio recordings, transcripts, prompts, or responses are sent to Tower Drill servers. Tower Drill is an educational training aid and is not a substitute for instruction, regulations, flight training, or real ATC procedures.
