How it works
A route, one stop at a time.
The course is a path of short lessons. You always know where you are and what comes next.
- 1
Short lessons
4 questions at a time, from different exam formats. Short enough for a break between flights.
- 2
What you miss comes back
A question you get wrong returns in a later lesson, until you know it.
- 3
Review stops
After every 5 lessons, a stop that only revises what you have already met.
- 4
An exam for each section
One question from every format, and 3 lives. Pass it and the next section opens.

Who is WingWords for?
Pilots and air traffic controllers working towards ICAO Level 4 or above, and anyone who uses aviation English at work and wants to keep it in practice.
Does it replace a course or the test?
No. The test is taken with an approved examiner. WingWords is daily practice in the formats the test uses, so you arrive used to them.
Do I need an internet connection?
Not for the lessons. They, the photographs and your progress are on your phone, so you can practise anywhere.
Which phones does it run on?
Android first. An iPhone version is planned.
What does it cost?
It is not in the stores yet, and testers use the early versions free. If you would like to be one of them, write to us.
What happens to what I write?
It stays on your phone, unless you choose to have an answer marked - then that answer is sent to our server to be marked. It is never sold and never part of usage statistics.
