Live ATC for your Sim

Theres no question that practicing on your desktop flight simulator will help your instrument flying. It exercises your instrument scan, it solidifies your procedures such as chart briefings, and it keeps you connected to flying when grabbing a real airplane isnt an option.

Key Takeaways:

• PilotEdge is a commercial service offering live, human air traffic control (ATC) for popular home flight simulators (Microsoft Flight Simulator, X-Plane), significantly enhancing the realism of instrument flying practice.
• The service employs professional-level controllers, providing an experience that closely mirrors real-world ATC phraseology, vectoring, and procedures, valuable for practicing instrument scans and emergency scenarios.
• While generally impressive and beneficial for training, a primary limitation noted is the relatively low traffic volume on the network.
• Despite the subscription cost, users generally consider PilotEdge a worthwhile investment for the added realism and practice utility compared to actual flight time.
