Rehearse the radio before you ever key the mic for real — and get every readback graded. WilcoAI is a voice-first trainer that runs both sides of the aviation radio. An AI controller speaks a real ATC transmission; you hold the push-to-talk button and read it back out loud, just like keying the mic in the cockpit, then release to send. WilcoAI transcribes what you said, scores it on correctness and FAA standard phraseology, and the scenario keeps moving. Real radio discipline • Press and hold to talk, release to send — the same half-duplex push-to-talk rhythm as a real radio • Play each controller call when you are ready, then make your transmission • Set your callsign and aircraft once; the controller uses them • A controller that pushes back when you miss — it repeats with "I say again," asks you to "say again," and escalates, so you practice recovering from a blown call • Multiple controller voices for ground, tower, departure, center, and approach Practice the way pilots actually fly • Daily Challenge — one curated single transmission a day, ~60-90 seconds, with a streak counter that keeps you coming back • Quick Drill — single-transmission reps across roughly 40 categories: clearances, taxi, tower, departure, center, approach, emergencies, and more • Phase Block — one phase of flight end to end, like an IFR clearance copy or pattern work at a non-towered field • Full Flight — a complete scenario from taxi to shutdown, VFR or IFR, at a real airport with real published procedures and sector handoffs Graded against the FAA, with citations • Every readback is scored on the items you got right, what you missed, and what you said wrong • Phraseology notes cite the AIM paragraph or 7110.65 section the call exercises • An end-of-session debrief gives you the scoreline, a per-category breakdown, your top corrections, and an audio replay of the exchange you flubbed • Standards come from the FAA's own publications — nothing about what counts as correct is made up Three tiers.

Training aid only. Not for flight use. Never act on simulated clearances. WilcoAI is for practice and familiarization — it is not a substitute for a certificated flight instructor, official FAA publications, or current charts, and nothing in the app should be used for real-world navigation or operations. WilcoAI requires an internet connection.
