meetSofi is at EATS 2026. Find us at the VRpilot booth in Cascais, 3–5 November. We’re presenting the SOP Callout Trainer and, with VRpilot, Sofi’s voice integrated into VRflow. Happy to talk with the professionals and experts shaping pilot training. Book a time with us in the comments. #EATS2026 #vrbeforeflight

The sim hours are not where you learn the callouts. They're where you prove you already know them. Every minute you spend figuring out the words is a minute you're not spending on what the sim was built for. meetSofi puts a voice coach in your pocket. Speak your callouts, get scored against the actual A320 FCOM, run it again. Whenever you want, as many times as you need. Walk into the sim with the basics already automatic.

The simulator is not where you learn the procedures, it is where you find out what you actually learned. And in type rating, that is an expensive distinction. A type rating is one of the most significant investments a pilot makes in their career. The simulator hours are designed to consolidate what you already know, under pressure, in front of an examiner. The cadets who get the most out of those hours are the ones who walk in with the basics already automatic. The flow, the callouts, the sequencing. All of it spoken out loud enough times that you no longer have to think about the words. That is what good self-study actually produces. Not familiarity with the procedures. Reflexes for them. Which means preparation is not a step before the real training. It is the variable that decides how much of the simulator you get to use for what it was built for. meetSofi is built for exactly that. Voice-based, real-time feedback against the actual A320 FCOM, so the callouts are automatic before the sim hour starts. We have 30 spots open for A320 pilots and cadets going into type rating. Not a waitlist. Message me and I'll set you up.

You know your callouts. You've chair-flown them, briefed them, said them out loud a hundred times. But how often does anyone actually tell you how you sound? Timing, accuracy, clarity - the gap between knowing the callout and flying it to standard. That kind of feedback usually comes from someone else, on someone else's schedule. Sofi gives it to you on yours. Speak your callouts, get scored, run it again — as many times as you want, whenever you want. We're opening the demo to A320 pilots now.

The self-study phase of a type rating is essentially: a manual, a login, and you. No feedback. No way to know whether what you practiced at home actually matches the FCOM. Cadets spend hours drilling callouts alone, buy hardware out of pocket, and still walk into the simulator realizing they weren't ready. The environment changes everything. The preparation they built was never tested against pressure. One of the first officers we work with described it exactly like this. She flew the A320, went through her type rating not long ago, and remembers that phase clearly, juggling multiple tools, practicing with a sim buddy who was also still learning, no one in the loop to catch a wrong callout. She started testing meetSofi as part of her workflow. Her feedback has been directly shaping how we build. What we're trying to give that phase is something it has never had: a voice-based practice partner grounded in the actual FCOM, that listens to your callouts and catches the moment something is off. One focused tool for the part of training where you never actually knew if you were getting it right. If you're preparing for a type rating and looking for a better way to practice, we're onboarding the first 30 A320 pilots and cadets. Not to validate what we built, but to break it. Message me and I'll get you set up.

I applied for a cabin crew job. They gave me a walkie-talkie and a station manager badge instead. Turned out to be the better deal. Years on the ramp and in ops gave me a close look at how airlines actually work. Jumpseat time gave me the rest. 727s, 737-200s, 757s, 737NGs, A320s. The first time those clamshell thrust reversers on the 737-200 deployed on landing, I was convinced something was catastrophically wrong. Nobody else flinched. Over those years I talked to some of the most experienced pilots and instructors I have ever met. Slowly I started to understand a different kind of complexity, not just the operation, but the training behind it. What it actually takes to build the judgment to handle whatever comes. Then the war in Ukraine started. I co-founded an NGO to support students who had lost their classrooms overnight. No structure, no campus, just them and the material. What we learned fast was that effective, well-supported self-study gave them continuity. It did not just fill a gap. It kept lives on track. Support self-study properly and people do not just cope, they do great things. We saw it. Same gap. Different context. Pilots in training carry some of the most demanding self-study in any profession. How well that phase is supported makes all the difference. That is what meetSofi is built around.
