About this app

**Free lessons always available, no subscription required to find out what ARSim can do for you**
Download and explore ARSim capabilities and how it can enhance your flight training experience with the free lessons and free trial period

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.

It's great in theory but it has a lot of problems. If you take a small pause, it stops recording and opens a window explaining. You have to close that window to continue every single time. It'd be better if they just scored you on how long it took so you could see your progress as you get quicker. There's also a recording started beep and ending beep that drives me crazy. You can't buy a single month, it's 6 mo min at $36ish. No lifetime. Really wish they'd fix a few things. Could be amazing

Thank you Lindsay for sharing. Unfortunately, the Android system is limited in the mic control and only stops automatically (iOS and web version do not suffer from this). If you check in Settings there is an option for an alternate speech analysis engine. Also, monthly in-app subscriptions are available on mobile devices (see Subscriptions). Thx

Even after setting language and recognition options in Settings it still often doesn't recognize things fully. It's also unclear how to increase your average ratings in a Lesson where you initially established a low average. As a result you may remain stuck at that level unable to move on to higher level lessons. I think the idea is great but the actual use of it is frustrating. My subscription may run out before I have time to fully benefit from it.

Thanks Rene for the feedback. There are two options in Settings where you can change the speech analysis engine to the more accurate, (more delaye). Also, you can help the algorithm by marking answers Correct in Feedback, after you get your score. Finally, you can always long-press on the Stage Check to unlock the next levels and continue training.

Love the idea, but so many times it doesn't recognize when I say words correctly. Or it just doesn't recognize me saying anything. I would be hesitant to pay for this with how often I'm having issues after only a few days of use. Update: I updated the rating. I'd give it 3.5 stars if I could. Changing the setting to the ones the dev suggested definitely improved the voice recognition. It still misses words more than I'd like, but it's better.

Thank you Andrew for the feedback. There are options in Settings to change the speech analysis, the tradeoff is a bit of extra delay for better performance. I hope that helps.
