For flight instructors
Free for CFIs. Seats for your students. Progress you can see.
Radio work is the part of training that costs the most dual time to fix and the part students practice least between lessons. TowerTalk gives them a controller to practice with between lessons and gives you the graded record, so the next lesson starts from what they actually said.
Free for you
An instructor account costs nothing and includes the practice tools: exercises, Virtual ATC at any US airport, scenarios and the radio check.
Seats for your students
A student either holds their own plan or you give them a seat: $11.99 per student a month, or $10.99 for every seat once you have 10 or more. Many instructors fold it into their lesson rate. Either way their graded calls appear on your dashboard.
Progress you can see
Each student's graded calls, scores, phraseology areas and weak spots, in one place, referenced to the AIM paragraph the grader used.
Live lesson rooms
Run a shared frequency with a student and take the controller seat yourself. Each student's first hour is free; after that, lesson time with a student who has no plan or seat is billed to you monthly, from $2.50 a half hour.
Bring your own content
Replace or add to the default exercises with your school's own prompts and notes.
Your airport
