What is rt-exam.com

RT Exam is a professional online radio telephony testing software designed for examiners and instructors to examine and train Private Pilot Licence (PPL) students. The software has been designed to meet and exceed the specification for RT examination software as laid out in CAA CAP2118.

The software runs within any modern web browser, allowing it to run from any computer without the need to install any software. The test is operated using two separate computers. For examinations, the two computers must be physically located together to meet the testing requirements. For training they can be remote to each other allowing both the student and instructor to be in different locations.

To commence a new test click the Launch button at the top of this website to go to the login/student connect page. Once logged in, the examiner/instructor selects the parameters and route for the test and inputs the generated join code into the other computer on the student connect page.

Once the training/exam is initiated, rt-exam displays the test using an aircraft flying a pre-defined route over an aeronautical chart at a selected speed on both the student and examiner screen. The instructor/examiner has controls to adjust the route if necessary, create alerts for the candidate/student and play pre-recorded mayday messages into the software. The candidate/student has control over radio frequencies, ability to fast-forward the flight and also orbit the aircraft.

On the examiner version of the software, once the test is complete, the audio recording of the exam is automatically saved. Recordings of previous tests can be managed by the examiners and shared as required.
