PlaneEnglish Interactive Training Solutions has partnered with the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) to bring aviation radio communications to the EAA AeroEducate online education program for K-12 students.
PlaneEnglish has developed a new unit for EAA AeroEducate within the PlaneEnglish Aviation Radio Simulator (ARSim). This unit offers 10 progressive, AI-assisted levels of training in aviation radio communications, ranging from beginner to solo pilot, according to company officials.
In addition to building up radio communications knowledge and mastery at each level, students can assess their proficiency by completing Stage Checks and earning EAA credits, badges, and printable certificates of achievement.
Even better, says PlaneEnglish’s Muharrem Mane, the training provides an excellent foundation for future pilots and air traffic controllers graduating from the AeroEducate program.
“Radio communication skills are central to aviation and building them early can lead to greater success and safety when these young people earn their wings,” Mane said.
Through the PlaneEnglish AE unit, students can engage in various scenarios to learn about pattern communications; airport markings, signs, and lighting; and more.
Those who wish to continue their training beyond AeroEducate — and earn FAA WINGS credits — can purchase full access to the PlaneEnglish Aviation Radio Simulator (ARSim) with additional VFR and IFR content and a full training curriculum, company officials noted.
The PlaneEnglish ARSim is available on the web at ARSim.ai and for iOS and Android on the AppStore and Google Play Store. The app offers a three-day free trial as well as customization options and licenses for flight schools and other institutions interested in using the simulator in group settings and at enterprise level.
Launched in 2022, AeroEducate is a free resource hub that offers interactive activities and other content for youth to inspire them to consider aviation as a hobby, future area of study, or a career. Parents and teachers can access a catalog of educational group activities for home or classroom use.
