graded like a CFI.

Then key the mic for real

When the basics are automatic, step up to the live sim — real ATC, and Claude grades every element of your read-back.

01

ATC transmits

A realistic clearance or instruction — taxi, takeoff, pattern entry, flight following, IFR clearance.

02

You read it back

Type exactly what you'd say on the radio. No hints, no word bank. Just you and the mic.

03

Claude grades it

Every required element checked against FAA AIM Chapter 4. Missing a hold short? Automatic fail, every time.

What gets graded

The same things your CFI is watching for — and the same things that cause runway incursions when missed.

Hold short instructions (missing = instant fail)
Call sign on every transmission
All numbers read back verbatim
Runway designators with L/R/C suffix
Frequencies digit by digit
Squawk codes digit by digit
Altitude format (five thousand, not fifty hundred)
Non-standard phrases ("copy that", "10-4", "will do")

52 scenarios across every phase of flight

From first radio call to IFR clearance delivery.

Questions, answered

Do I need a microphone?

Nope. Ground School is all taps and choices. In Live Comms you can type your read-back or use your mic — your call.

Is it actually free?

Yes. Ground School is free and works offline. Live Comms gives you 5 AI-graded scenarios a day free; unlimited is $15/mo.

Is the content FAA-accurate?

Every scenario and drill is built against the FAA Aeronautical Information Manual (AIM) Chapter 4 — the same standard your CFI and examiner use.

Will this help on my checkride?

That’s the point. Radio work trips up more student pilots than almost anything — hold-shorts, read-backs, and phraseology are exactly what gets drilled and graded here.

Does it really work offline?

Ground School drills run entirely on your device — perfect for the ramp, the run-up area, or a flight with no signal.
