Studying for a checkride — or trying not to forget everything you learned for the last one? Abeam turns aviation knowledge into a daily habit: five-minute sessions for student pilots working toward a rating, and for certificated pilots staying sharp between flights. Abeam is built for pilots — in training and staying current. Your next flight review, IPC, or unfamiliar towered field shouldn't be a scramble. Short, focused quizzes you can finish on a coffee break. Streaks that keep you flying through your study material. Games that make the hardest topics stick. And a realistic ATC radio simulator that lets you practice readbacks before you ever key the mic. A RADIO SIMULATOR THAT ACTUALLY TRAINS YOU 195 scenarios across 13 tracks — taxi clearances with hold-shorts and runway crossings, IFR clearance delivery, departures, enroute, approaches, go-arounds, and emergencies. Every scenario starts with a situation brief and, on the ground, an airport diagram showing your position, your taxi route, and exactly where to hold short. Listen to AI-generated ATC with realistic controller voices, key up, speak your readback, and get graded against real-world standards — the grading accepts proper phraseology variations the way a real controller would. Pass a level's scenarios to unlock the next difficulty, all the way to checkride-strict. DAILY QUIZZES TAILORED TO YOUR RATING Choose your track — VFR, IFR, Commercial, or CFI — and get questions calibrated to where you are in your training. Questions are grounded in FAR/AIM regulations and aeronautical references, with citations for every explanation. GAMES THAT TEACH Symbology: airport signs, runway markings, light gun signals, and VFR/IFR chart symbols — untimed visual recall with instant feedback, and IFR chart content that appears when your training calls for it. Weather Decoder for METAR/TAF practice. Phonetic Sprint for alphabet speed. The kind of practice that's painful with flashcards becomes addictive in short game loops. AI-POWERED CUSTOM QUIZZES Upload your study materials — manuals, study guides, FAR/AIM excerpts — and Abeam generates personalized quiz questions from them. Your study material becomes your test prep. STREAKS AND PROGRESS Build a daily study habit with calendar-day streaks, XP, and progress tracking that shows which topics you've mastered and where you need more reps. BUILT BY A PILOT, FOR PILOTS Created by an instrument-rated pilot working toward commercial. Abeam is a study companion, not a replacement for your CFI or formal flight training — but the daily reps make checkride prep feel like maintenance instead of a sprint. About the name: in aviation, "abeam the numbers" is the moment on downwind when you commit to landing — flaps down, descent begun, eyes on the threshold. The moment when training meets action. Abeam is named for that moment. Practice every day so when yours comes, you're ready. Try Abeam Premium free for 7 days. After that, $14.99/month or $119.99/year unlocks the full radio simulator, unlimited AI-generated quizzes from your documents, mastery tracking, and full analytics.
