LEARN, PRACTISE AND MASTER UK VFR RADIOTELEPHONY. Master aviation RT with fully vocalised learning sessions and dynamically simulated practise flights. Whatever your current experience level, G-UDRT has the depth and breadth of content to ensure you can communicate with confidence. RT knowledge and the ability to apply it competently is traditionally achieved through repeated exposure to and participation in diverse real-world radio communications. This can be challenging, especially for student pilots who can find their concentration is nearly entirely taken up by learning to fly the aircraft. There may be little mental capacity remaining to comprehend and remember all the airborne RT they hear. With G-UDRT in your pocket, you can enjoy your expensive flight time, having mastered radiotelephony from the ground. Our content has been developed by a leading radiotelephony expert, and in consultation with those of us who are still improving. Detailed learning content builds knowledge. Competence is achieved by practising using realistically unpredictable and fully vocalised simulated flights. You must respond to changing weather, traffic, clearances and more. Just like in the real world. We provide 7 modules, 38 learning sessions and 20 simulated practise flights, covering the following subjects: - The basics of radiotelephony (Free). - Standard phraseology (Free). - ATC, FIS, A/G Radio and unattended aerodrome RT (Free). - Dealing with the unexpected. - Circuit RT at ATC, FIS, A/G Radio and unattended aerodromes. - Departure and arrival RT at ATC, FIS, A/G Radio and unattended aerodromes. - UK Flight Information Services. - Transiting controlled airspace. - ATZs, Infringement avoidance, MATZ, Danger Areas, TMZs, VDF, and much more.

INTERACTIVE MAPS • All six maps with thousands of markers — loot, containers, ARC enemies, extractions, quests, nature and events. • Fast native pinch/pan/zoom; filter by category to find exactly what you need. • Tap any marker for its details — including ARC enemy loot tables — then jump to the item's full page. ITEM DATABASE • Every weapon, gear, mod, ammo, consumable, material and more. • Stats, rarity, crafting recipes, recycle values, where-obtained and marketplace prices at a glance — cached offline so it's instant. • Favourite items to build your own list, saved privately on your device. MARKETPLACE • Trade with other players — browse every live listing, filter by buying or selling, and sort by price. • Make an offer, agree the details in chat, then you each lock in before swapping in-game IDs. • Check anyone's reputation first — rating breakdown, completed trades and every review they've had. • Post your own listings, and leave a review after each trade. • Report a listing or block a trader at any time. Trades are for in-game items between players only. No real money is involved and there are no in-app purchases. TRACKER • Track quests, workshop upgrades, projects and blueprints with what-you-need counts. Expand a quest to see its objectives, required items and where its steps are on the map. LIVE EVENTS • See what's live now and what's coming next on each map, with countdown timers. • Build your own agenda from the events you care about, day by day. • Tap the bell on any event to get a reminder the moment it goes live — and if several start at once, they're combined into a single notification. — Unofficial & fan-made.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: G at 5.0 against ARC Companion | Metaforge's 4.0. G also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.4). ARC Companion | Metaforge's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.
