How to Use the Simulator

Virtual Station Replies

A complete call plays the expected station reply. If the call is incomplete or jumbled, the simulator can produce a training reply that asks for the missing station, vessel identity, posi...

Recording Yourself

Where your browser allows it, record your own spoken call locally and play it back. This helps you hear hesitation, missing vessel names, or unclear positions.

  • Practice speaking aloud
  • Review clarity

What Good Sounds Like

A good radio call is calm, short, complete, and ordered. Do not rush the critical parts: identity, position, nature of problem, and what you need.

  • Calm
  • Ordered

Simulator Practice Workflow

The scenario simulator is for active recall. Build the call from phrase chips, say it aloud, listen to the expected response, then compare what you said with the model.

  • Choose priority before choosing phrases.
  • Build the call in the expected order.

Self-Recording And Review

Recording yourself locally can reveal problems that silent quizzes hide: rushing, mumbling, missing the vessel identity, or forgetting to release PTT pauses.

  • Listen for pace and clarity.
  • Check whether the call would make sense to a coast station.

Scenario Families

The simulator should feel like a cockpit decision, not a generic quiz. Routine, safety, urgency, and distress calls have different priorities and phrase order.

  • Routine: clear operational request.
  • Safety: information that affects other vessels.

Exam Rehearsal Standard

A scenario is passed only when you can explain why the priority and channel are correct, not just when all chips turn green.

  • State the priority.
  • State the channel or DSC route.
