Changelog

Our support chat can now sort out some problems on the spot: it re-checks your purchases when something you paid for stays locked, finishes your setup if you get stuck in it, and corrects a typo or a wrong translation you found in a question.

Pick your licence and exam month on the homepage and see how many questions a day get you through the whole bank in time. Your licence and exam month carry straight into your new account.

After the first term of a yearly or other longer plan, you can cancel whenever you like. The plan ends one month later, and we automatically refund what you paid for the time after that.

The features page now shows every part of LearnATC, grouped into radio practice, learning for the exam, reference tools and the community, each with a screenshot from a computer and from a phone.

Premium Seat is billed as Basic Seat plus the ECQB-PPL question bank, each with its own price, on the product page, at checkout and on your invoices. The total stays the same.

You can withdraw from a contract on our Withdraw from contract page, or straight from the subscription card or purchase during the 14 days. Your confirmation of receipt arrives by email at once.

Without a plan you can now try Aircademy's sample questions in every ECQB-PPL subject that has them, up to 10 each, and they stay the same every day.

ECQB-PPL questions now appear in the languages Aircademy publishes them in: English and German, and French, Dutch, Slovenian or Romanian where available. In other languages you see the English text with a short note.

If your billing address is in Spain or France, you now get an email before your subscription renews, with the date, the amount and how to cancel.

ECQB-PPL subject lists now show question texts 20 at a time, so they open faster. Load more brings the next ones, and search still finds every question in the subject.

Questions you save for offline practice are stored encrypted and can only be read in LearnATC on your device. Go online at least once a week to keep them unlocked.

If your phone can't read back a recorded radio call in the simulator, we now say so and you record it again, instead of the call showing as sent with no answer.

The homepage now shows LearnATC in motion: short recordings of the app in use, five stages from the first lesson to exam day, three questions you can try right away, and everything LearnATC offers after the exam.

The cancel form now ends every contract it can match right away, also several at once or on a later date, and you can save your confirmation.

After your first practice session you see the plan that fits your setup answers, with its price, right where you are.

On the pricing page, pick your goal and the plan that fits shows right away with its price. One or two short questions refine it, and it opens the plan with the right term.

Order confirmations now carry our terms and the withdrawal policy as PDF files, and the subscription confirmation names your plan, the price, the next payment and how to cancel.

The pay button now says only what you are doing, like Pay and subscribe or Buy now. Your saved payment method and the amount due sit on the line above it.

Setting up your account now shows where you are in three short parts, marks the questions you can skip, and fills in your language and country for you. It ends with Start learning, and the products that fit your goals are shown as a suggestion.

Tap a locked subject or question and you see right there which plan opens it, with the price.

The payment page now shows the same euro price as our site, with PayPal, Klarna and Revolut Pay available wherever you buy from.

Your 7 free days now start when you finish setting up your account, not when you sign up. If you have hardly used them, we remind you before they end.

Answer explanations are now marked as AI-generated, and the ECQB-PPL pages say who the questions come from. ECQB-PPL questions can no longer be saved for offline practice; the other question banks still can.

With Sort on the question bank pages you put licenses and subjects in the order you work through them. Your order shows on every device, and Continue starts with the first subject you have not finished.

Spot a wrong elevation, frequency or runway on an aerodrome page? Suggest the correct value with its source. We check it before the page changes.

Aerodrome pages show the next days in two-hour slots, green, amber or red, with the reason for each colour and the crosswind on every runway.

Pages of pilot training apps in our software directory now have a Compare tab: the app next to LearnATC, feature by feature, and you can get the matching LearnATC product right there.

One-off prices now say how long they last, like "for 3 months", so they no longer look like a repeating charge.

When you open the simulator, the radio is already tuned to the station of your first call, so the guide and the radio always match.

Aerodrome pages now show the current METAR in plain words and as sent, plus the nearest stations with distance and direction. Old reports are marked.

On the videos page, type what you want to learn, like the traffic circuit, and tap Make a playlist. You get the matching videos in the order to watch them.

Translated questions now always show four different answer options. Where two options would read the same in your language, they keep their English wording, as standard radio phrases do.

Our emails now come as one clear card with the LearnATC logo on top, and the logo also shows in Gmail.

Software pages now show screenshots and videos side by side at the same height, like an app store. Phone screenshots appear whole, without black bars.

Handing in a long mock exam now takes seconds, and the button shows that your answers are being handed in.

We corrected about 180 misspelt or doubled words in the English questions and answers, such as "areeas" and "equitorial". Thanks to everyone who reported them.

When you switch terms or compare a few plans on the product pages, a short note now offers our chat and the plan comparison, so you can ask before you pay.

Your licence road now shows when you will reach the pass mark at your current pace, and warns you when that is after your exam date.

A new learn mode serves the questions most learners get right first and the harder ones later. New to a subject? Smart order now starts you on the easier questions too.

On the sign-in page, the keyboard's Next key after your email now takes you to the password field. A sign-in link is only emailed when you ask for one.

In Practice the controller now keeps the current weather, ATIS and runway, answers as the unit on your frequency, and writes your English calls in English even at a Japanese airport.

In the Simulator, ATC now corrects a runway or QNH you read back wrong instead of moving on, and the instructor names the right value.

Japanese and US airports now get local airlines and registrations in Controller training, so Naha hears All Nippon instead of Speedbird.

The ATC trainer is now called Controller training and tells you before every call that you are the controller. If you call like a pilot there, it points you to Practice.

In Practice you can now say "please speak English" on the radio, in any language, and the controller switches to English for this call and your next ones.

Real accidents and incidents explained step by step: what happened, which links in the chain mattered, and what a student pilot can learn from it.

Scrolling down on a phone no longer lets the page slide sideways while the help button tucks itself away.

The search (Ctrl+K) shows a chip per kind of result to narrow the list down, keeps its loader until every result is in, and finds the syllabus learning goals, opening the syllabus right at the goal.

The question catalogs and each licence page now show how many questions you answered per day over the last 30 days. The catalog list has one tab per question bank, opening on the official ECQB bank, with the radio exam questions as a tab of their own instead of a separate menu entry.

The flight school pages for a continent or country now show its name in your language, and school cards without reviews no longer repeat "not yet rated".

Articles now read in one calm text style with clear headings, and the blog overview shows the newest post up front, one category filter and cleaner cards.

The Get access window now puts the product that fits what you opened first, lists what each product gives you, marks packages and single products, and uses the full height of your screen. Pricing tiles say which ones are packages.

Downloading questions for offline practice is now part of Questions and Trainer Questions, like the review round, and open during the demo week.

Every page now has a back button at the top that takes you to the page above it, also on desktop and on full-screen pages such as question practice, lessons and the simulator.

Play on a licence now trains all of its subjects together, in the learn mode you pick, including In order across every subject. You find it on the catalog list, on each licence page and on your dashboard.

Get access buttons now show their price in the currency you picked, and the Get access window has the currency picker next to its close button.

If an offer has ended since the page loaded, paying with a saved card now stops and shows the new price instead of charging a different amount than the button said.

Every run of the syntax trainer brings new callsigns, stations, runways, frequencies, squawks and QNH values, so you build a new call instead of one you remember. Exercises you got wrong come back first.

The ATC call in a syntax exercise is now spoken by the simulator's controller voice. Switch on Listen only to hear it first and then build your read-back.

A pinned item without a name no longer breaks every page. The sidebar shows your pins again.

Voice messages in the support chat are now heard in your chat's language, and radio words like squawk come through right.

Asking the support chat what to say on the radio now shows the four parts of a radio call with an example, and a link into the simulator's guided first flight.

Your progress now shows how many questions you answered each day over the last 30 days, how many were right and how long you practised.

Offline practice can now go through the questions in order by number, and you can jump to any question from the list of numbers below the card.

When someone from our team writes in your AI help chat, the AI no longer answers the team's message as if you had written it.

With a saved card, the pay button now says what you pay, for example "Pay €20.40 now with Visa •••• 4242", the same price as on the page.

If your plan's included simulator use runs out before the period ends, the simulator tells you until when and shows the plans that include more.

New pilots now land on Scenarios on their start page, with the free first flight on top. After your first radio call it opens on Questions again.

If you signed in through the app and your account has no email yet, the checkout now asks for one right there instead of stopping with an error.

A locked lesson or question catalog now names the plans that include it and shows the lowest price on its button.

A friend who signs up with your invite link gets 30% off their first purchase. You get 25% of everything they pay in their first 12 months, and turn it into discount codes for yourself or to give away.

When you sign up and tell us a friend or your flight school recommended Learn-ATC, the question to name them now opens right under your answer. Pick your flight school from our directory or type its name.

The questions on your start page now come from the subject you have done least, so each visit moves on through the bank instead of staying in one subject.

With Safari 15 or older on a Mac or iPhone, wiki pages, lessons and questions with glossary links could break. They work there again.

On Simulator Pilot and Simulators, the buy box shows what Basic Seat costs on top for the same term, for example 5.60 EUR more a month.

When you finish a lesson or a simulator flight, you see your next step and can turn on notifications on this device, so we can remind you if two days pass without training.

Basic Seat now opens the written VFR and IFR courses in full, next to every video course. Premium Seat adds the official ECQB-PPL question bank.

Signing up sends one email with the confirm button instead of two, and a new plan only says it is active once the payment has gone through.

Lock your phone or switch apps while ATC is talking, and the voice carries on when you come back instead of falling back to text.

On airport pages the SVG chart no longer cuts off runways at the bottom. It opens on the whole field, like the taxi layout, and the fit button brings you back there.

Technical terms in questions, lessons and explanations now link to the glossary in every language, Japanese included. Point at a term to see a short definition, click it for the full entry.

When you switch language, everything on the page follows at once, without a reload. Subject names, the METAR, NOTAM and syntax trainers, dates, the calendar, settings and community channels now show in your language too.

An Air Law question about the LAPL(A) recency rules now shows four different answers in every language, and two questions read correctly again: the airspeed indicator one and the airflow separation one.

Runway and frequency tables are in your language and drop empty columns, frequency pages match the aerodrome pages, and the taxi layout opens zoomed on the airport.

Aerodrome pages now show town, country, type and the elevation in feet and metres right under the name. Elevations are checked against a second source, and airfields with a paved and a grass runway sharing a number list both.

A chat you have read, Roger's included, no longer shows as unread in your chat list, also when a reply came in while you had it open.

The message field in your chats is now a round bubble that sits right on the conversation, with the send button beside it. In the support chat, attach and voice message sit inside the field.

Pages now draw as soon as the page itself arrives instead of waiting for the full stylesheet. On a slow mobile connection, aerodrome and frequency pages show up about two seconds sooner.

Aerodrome and frequency pages now show where the data comes from (OpenAIP), how current it is, and that the official AIP and NOTAM are what counts, with a link to the AIP for 15 countries. Maps and the taxi layout credit OpenStreetMap.

Explainer videos from the wiki now show a short summary of their topic on the video card and the watch page.
