WHY ATC FEELS HARD

ATC gets harder as pressure builds.

More traffic, more instructions, more to remember--all while the clock keeps moving.

FOUNDER NOTE

Why I built Squawk.

I built Squawk because ATC communication was honestly one of the hardest parts of flying for me. Whenever I would fly, talking on the radio felt overwhelming.

I practiced a lot, but it still felt like the only real way to get better was by messing up in the plane. That was frustrating because instead of using flight time to focus on flying, I was spending expensive time trying to get comfortable with communication.

I made mistakes that I was not proud of, and I know a lot of student pilots have probably felt the same way. That is why I decided to build Squawk: a tool that helps pilots practice ATC communication on the ground, build confidence before flying, and feel less overwhelmed in the cockpit without having to learn everything the expensive way.
