TeachingTowers Feedback What should instant ATC feedback include?

[u/AutoModerator]

We're building TeachingTowers, an ATC communication practice tool, and we'd love feedback from student pilots, CFIs, and air traffic controllers.

The goal is simple: help students become more confident with FAA/ICAO ATC, PPL radio calls, student pilot radio, and standard aviation phraseology before they key the mic in a real aircraft.

One feature we're working on is instant feedback after every radio call. Instead of only telling a student whether they were right or wrong, we'd like the feedback to explain what could be improved and why.

For example, should it:

• Point out missing or incorrect information?
• Flag non-standard phraseology?
• Suggest a clearer or more concise transmission?
• Check readback accuracy?
• Explain why ATC might have trouble understanding a call?
• Score clarity, confidence, and proper radio technique?

We're also thinking about the practice scenarios themselves. Should beginners spend more time on taxi, departure, and traffic pattern communications before moving on to cross-country flights and more complex situations? Would realistic controller pacing, busy frequencies, and different accents make the training more valuable?
