Description

Download and explore ARSim capabilities and how it can enhance your flight training experience with the **free lessons and free trial period**

**Free lessons always available, no subscription required to find out what ARSim can do for you.**

The PlaneEnglish Aviation Radio Simulator (ARSim) is an interactive aviation radio simulator created to enable pilots to learn and master aviation radio communication, procedures, and phraseology and gain the confidence to overcome the fear and trepidation of talking to Air Traffic Control.

AI-based air traffic controllers and instantaneous feedback through voice recognition and speech analysis guide new pilots through realistic scenarios toward proficiency in aviation phraseology and communication.

The built-in training curriculum, step-by-step description of phraseology, and hundreds of randomized scenarios give you the opportunity to level up and to master this critical aviation skill.

The AIRPORT, PATTERN, and HOLD modules provide foundational knowledge on airport signs, markings, and lighting, on how to fly and communicate while operating in the pattern / circuit, and executing instrument holds. The touch-based and voice-based interactive capabilities of ARSim make every lesson engaging and informative, to help you gain new knowledge and to sharpen and refresh your existing skills.

You can access hundreds of airports, step through over 200 lessons, and experience thousands of scenarios and situations of interactions with air traffic control for all phases of VFR and IFR flight. In the process, you will earn FAA WINGS Credits for the VFR and IFR TRAINER, AIRPORT, and PATTERN modules.

Guided by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) phraseology, standards, and radiotelephony procedures, the training content offers you the ability to experience the aviation communication standards used across the world.

As new pilots, you can gain critical safety skills in an accessible and effective way and build critical muscle memory, thereby expanding the learning opportunities...beyond the classroom and outside of the cockpit.

Download ARSim and explore first-hand what it can do for you and your flight training experience. You will be able to try out the full functionality of ARSim with the always-available free content (in BASICS, AIRPORT, PATTERN, GLOSSARY, RESOURCES modules) and the free trial period. Don't forget to look around in Settings for the many customization options, phraseology standards, and primary flight displays.

GOOD but not GREAT

Look this app is a great tool I wish I had while learning private/instrument coms. The problem is, some things you do not read back to atc in flight are required to read back here which could give the impression to new pilots that you have to read back every piece of detail to atc.

An example of this is “hold short 28L landing traffic” you generally don’t say “landing traffic” back to ATC. Another example is when contacting departure, generally you don’t say “contact PHX departure” you would say “ over to departure, good day”

Overall this app is great for new pilots which is why I rated it 4/5 stars, but you should not just rely on the app for your atc communications. Once you become more familiar with talking on the radio with atc, you will begin to use your own phraseology to shorten what you have to say without compromising the message. But in general good app!

Must Have for Student Pilots

This app is so so so helpful with practicing your radio calls. I used to get so nervous about messing up or saying something silly to tower or on CTAF. It provides great practice for keeping all the numbers and instructions straight in your head without the fear of embarrassment/ judgment from ATC or other pilots! It’s great for when your bored laying in bed, preparing for a check-ride, or you can elevate your chair flying with this extra level of immersion. Either way, you won’t regret it.

It is a little pricey for what it is.. but then again what isn’t in aviation? It’s a monthly payment but I think it’s worth every penny, since you’re able to practice radio calls anywhere, anytime and not while you’re paying over $175/hr for your flight training! Plus you can just use it until you get comfortable and proficient! Definitely recommend it to anyone at any level of flight training!

Okay okay… let me clarify

So, to be fair, at first I thought this app wasn’t working properly. I have been a licensed pilot for 5 years now and almost have my CFI. I couldn’t get it to work, even when I gave proper calls, etc.. it was saying I wasn’t saying / making correct calls.. then I realized it’s because I’m bloody British and it couldn’t understand my accent or some of the phraseology that we use that Americans don’t. I currently live and fly in the US, but this App hates my accent. Lol. It can’t understand me unless I speak really slow and American… well, as good as an attempt of American accent as I can do. Lol. I initially gave it 1 star because I thought the app was flawed and not proper for learning, but I can now see how it’s honestly highly functional and ideal for anyone who wants to sharpen up with coms. I will be referring it the students at my airport. Cheers!
