Speech reco im MCE is modeled to match real world speech.

Like real world pilots, you need to go through a learning curve, so tat yoiu become confident speaking NATO alphabet, call-sign and ATC jargon  without hesitation.

Start by using our speech trainer, and select "ATC phraseology" topic. You'll get an idea about the structure of typical ATC messages.

Not going to provide a full course on ATC, but here is some guidance.

All requests must obey this speech rule

Station_you_are_calling   (this brings controller attention

+

Call_sign  (controller gets to know who is calling)

+

some verbiage_variation_indicating_a_request  (Examples: requesting, request, ready for, standing by for, waiting for, etc...)

actual_request  (by now, controller would already have an idea where you are, so he can listen to your particular request)

Examples:

Let's assume your call sign is KLM 143

Frankfurt ground, KLM 143 is ready to copy atc clearance to Miami

Heathrow Delivery, KLM 143 standing by for ATC clearance to Dubai

Geneva ground, KLM 143 requesting taxi

Kennedy tower, KLM 143, holding point o4 left, ready for takeoff.

All acknowledgments must obey this speech rule

acknowledge_whatever (this could include a multitude of acknowledgments, like "maintain runway headin", "climb 6000", "contact whatever on XXX.XXX", "squawk XXXX" and in any order.

+

call_sign

As a rookie, do not enable option "Accurate call_sin required" in ATC panel, otherwise your transmission would be rejected if you said KLM 341" or "KLM 431"

 

Obviously, there are many other speech variations for other things like requesting higher and lower altitude.

In general, speech grammar is designed in such a way, that a trained real world pilot wouldn't need to read the ATC manual. If it turns out some specific valid ATC speech wasn't accounted for and seemingly not recognized, please report it and we'll tweak the speech grammar to make sure it is.

Make sure you're on the latest MCE V2.8.8.0  (use the patch in this thread

Good luck. At leqast, you can practice alone in your room, without anyone judging you.
