Open Tower Drill, go to the lesson list, and tap any locked lesson. On the upgrade screen, tap "Restore Purchases" at the bottom. Make sure you're signed into the same Apple ID you used for the original purchase.
You can use the guided lesson content and speech practice without an internet connection. You need a connection to purchase Tower Drill Pro and to download the optional on-device AI model.
Tower Drill supports iPhone and iPad running iOS 17 or later. The optional on-device AI model works best on newer Apple silicon devices with enough free storage.
For best results, use Tower Drill in a quiet environment and speak clearly at a normal pace, just like you would on an actual radio. Make sure you've granted microphone permission in Settings > Tower Drill > Microphone.
Yes. All exercises use phraseology from FAA JO 7110.65 (Air Traffic Control) and the Aeronautical Information Manual (AIM). Tower Drill is designed specifically for US PPL students training under FAA regulations.
Training mode shows you the expected response so you can read along. Coached mode gives key items to include when you're stuck. Solo mode is a realistic simulation with no assistance, just like the real radio.
Tower Drill currently focuses exclusively on US FAA phraseology and procedures. While many concepts overlap with ICAO standards, some terminology and procedures differ. We recommend it for US-based flight training.
