Pick a practice test. Check your readiness.
Every practice exam is built around realistic cockpit and ATC exchanges — ATIS clips, METARs, emergency comms. Results go straight to your inbox.
These are practice tests for self-checking only — not an official ICAO assessment, rating or certification, and not approved by ICAO or SHGM.
ICAO 3-4 Foundations — Basic Radiotelephony
If you're brand-new to aviation English or pushing for the international minimum (Level 4), start here. ATIS, a METAR, and the read-back of a line-up instruction.
ICAO 4-5 Operational — IFR Radiotelephony
For working pilots and ATPL students aiming to consolidate Level 4 or push for Level 5. Mixes a busy-airport ATIS, an approach clearance under time pressure and a wind-shear go-around.
ICAO 5-6 Mastery — Non-Routine & Emergency
Pushing for Level 6 or sitting an upgrade exam? Linguistic surprises, paraphrasing under stress, and abnormal-procedure interaction with ATC.
Taxi & Ground Operations — Holding Positions & Read-backs
Topic drill: a real runway holding position (sign and marking), a taxi clearance with a hold-short instruction, and the read-back. Ground operations cause more incursions per hour than any other phase of flight.
Weather & Hazards — METAR, Weather Radar, CB
Topic drill: read a METAR under pressure, interpret the weather radar on a real navigation display, and pick the correct phraseology when you have to deviate around a CB cell.
