ATC Drive

A navigation app made so student pilots can practice aviation-radio listening while driving. ATC-style voice guidance on a glass-cockpit display. Now with CarPlay.

ATC Drive turns everyday driving into a pilot-training-style experience. It gives you your own vehicle callsign, controller-style phraseology, and a glass-cockpit-style display. Letters and numbers are read using real aviation ATC pronunciation, so it can even help student private pilots practice radio comprehension. Beyond being fun for aviation enthusiasts, it conveys more by voice than an ordinary navigation app, which can reduce how often you glance at the screen while driving — it was designed with safer driving in mind.

HOW IT WORKS

• Search for a destination like any navigation app, and ATC Drive reads your turn-by-turn guidance aloud as aviation-radio-style ATC calls.
• Major car makers are preset, so you can quickly set your vehicle's make, model, and plate; this becomes your callsign and is spoken using the NATO phonetic alphabet.
• Transponder mode lets you choose how often guidance speaks.
• Customize the voices in detail. ATC Drive uses the voices installed on your iPhone or iPad, so add voices to your device as needed.
• With CarPlay, your car's display becomes a glass-cockpit-style navigation screen.
