Choose your airspace
Both options put you in the tower. The difference is where you are standing: a quiet invented airfield built for learning, or a real UK airport with its own runways, frequencies and local rules.
Start here
Training airspace
Barrowfield, an invented airfield: one runway, a left-hand circuit, nothing overhead and traffic that arrives one at a time. Learn the calls before the geography gets in the way.
- Simple left-hand circuit at 1000 ft
- Menu instructions, typed calls optional later
- Nothing to look up before you start
Advanced
Real UK airspace
Real UK airports, from a Class G general aviation field to a two-runway international. Real runway designators, circuit directions, tower frequencies, reporting points, departure routes and local restrictions.
- Right-hand circuits, control zones, no visual circuit at all
- Real reporting points and departure routes in the radio calls
- Typed phraseology available on every level
Airfield briefings
Runways, frequencies, reporting points and local rules for every airfield in the simulator.
