How will KoAir improve your radio calls?

We built a way to practise phraseology, so that when we go flying we are not afraid to press the PTT.

Hold the button and read back just as you would in flight. The app checks your readback item by item: callsign, runway, frequency or QNH, depending on what ATC said.

At the end of the lesson you get your result by topic, such as taxi or frequencies, so you know what you have under control and what is worth a little more practice.

A daily review made for you

Every day, on the home screen, KoAir gives you five exercises on what you most need to work on, so what you learn in the lessons sticks.

For pilots in training and pilots getting back into flying

If you are on a microlight or PPL course, you can practise the radio before your flying lessons. If you already hold a licence and have not flown for a while, it helps you get your phraseology back.
