PC-24 Study is the study companion for pilots preparing for their Pilatus PC-24 type rating, or keeping their knowledge sharp afterwards. NEW: INTERACTIVE SCHEMATICS Every FCOM system diagram, redrawn and interactive: electrical, fuel, fire, environmental, flight controls, ice protection, oxygen, pitot-static, ESIS and ACE. Step through normal operation, engine starts and failures, and watch the buses, valves, cockpit panel and CAS messages change together. WHAT'S INCLUDED Limitations All 28 sections of AFM Section 2, organised by sub-module and fully searchable. Prohibited values are highlighted in red for instant recognition. Systems — All 16 FCOM Chapters All 16 systems chapters, derived directly from the PC-24 FCOM. Quiz yourself chapter by chapter or across every system. Memory Items All 17 emergency memory items, with the red-box steps highlighted exactly as they appear in the QRH. Drills test each step, which procedure a step belongs to, and what comes next. 743 Questions, Every Answer Explained 121 Limitations and 622 Systems questions, each with an explanation and a reference to the FCOM or AFM. The answer options are shuffled every time, so you learn the answer, not its position. Knowledge Check A mixed check of 10, 25, 50, 75 or 100 questions from Limitations, Systems and Memory Items, favouring questions you haven't seen lately. Turn on Timed mode for a minute a question. Daily Review Get a question wrong and it comes back the next day, then at growing intervals until you've got it for good. Progress and Bookmarks Accuracy by topic, a daily study streak, your recent results, and a "Study This Next" drill aimed at your weakest topic. Bookmark any question to replay later. Abbreviations & Terminology 545 abbreviations and 109 terminology definitions, fully searchable. IPHONE AND IPAD, LIGHT OR DARK Made for iPhone and iPad, with room for the whole diagram on the bigger screen. Choose light or dark mode, or follow your device. Your progress, streak, bookmarks and review schedule sync between your devices. STUDY ANYWHERE All study content is built into the app, so you don't need a connection to study: on the flight deck, in the hotel, or wherever your roster takes you. Your progress syncs whenever you're back online. BUILT FOR PILOTS, BY A PILOT PC-24 Study was built by a PC-24 type-rated pilot. The content reflects what actually matters for your type rating oral and simulator preparation, not a generic aviation quiz app. Spotted a mistake or have an idea?

About

ATC Copilot

Read full description

ATC Copilot transcribes air traffic control radio in real time, entirely on your device. No internet, no servers, no account — your audio never leaves your iPhone. Built on a speech model fine-tuned specifically for the clipped, noisy, fast-paced language of ATC communications, it turns live radio into readable text and highlights the items a pilot must not miss. KEY FEATURES • Fully offline — all processing runs on-device with Apple Neural Engine acceleration • Real-time live transcription that streams word by word as you listen • Safety-critical highlighting — runways, altitudes/flight levels, headings, speeds, frequencies, squawk codes and QNH stand out automatically • Current-instruction strip — the latest assigned runway, altitude, frequency and more, at a glance • ATC-aware formatting — phonetic letters and spoken numbers are rendered the way pilots read them ("two seven left" → "27L", "alpha charlie" → "AC") • Private by design — nothing is uploaded, cached, or shared WHO IT'S FOR Student and rated pilots building radio comprehension, aviation enthusiasts following live ATC, and anyone who wants a private, offline record of what was said on frequency. IMPORTANT ATC Copilot is a transcription and study aid only. It is not certified for, and must not be used for, real-time flight operations, navigation, separation, or any safety-of-flight decision. Always rely on official communications and approved equipment. Transcription accuracy is not guaranteed.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ATC Copilot at none against PC's 2. PC's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
