RT Trainer is a live, voice-based radiotelephony simulator. Speak into your microphone, a rule-based ATC simulator plays UK Air Traffic Control, and your transmissions are scored instantly against CAP 413 phraseology — the exact skill your FRTOL test and every real flight will demand.
No account needed for the free sample. Works best in Chrome, Edge, or Safari on Mac/iPhone.
Remember: your Communications theory paper must be passed before you can sit the RT Practical test.
A trial lesson is a real flying lesson — not a sightseeing flight. Your instructor briefs you on the ground, then hands you the controls in the air for straight-and-level flight, turns, and (where conditions allow) climbing and descending.
Buy a trial lesson as a gift voucher — valid for 12 months and redeemable against any trial lesson option.
30 or 60-minute flight options, plus ~30 minutes for briefing, paperwork and a post-flight debrief.
Flown in our Cessna 152 — a stable, forgiving two-seat training aircraft ideal for first flights.
If weather prevents flying, your lesson is rescheduled free of charge — no time limit on rebooking.
Arrival briefing, aircraft walk-around, take-off by your instructor, then the controls are yours.
Whether you're aiming for a full Private Pilot Licence, an NPPL, building hours, or returning to flying after a break — your training plan is mapped from day one and tracked on your dashboard.
