Pilot Readback Corpus: Synthetic Air Traffic Control Exchanges in ICAO Phraseology

Synthetic Air Traffic Control pilot-controller exchanges authored following standard ICAO Doc 4444 and Annex 10 phraseology. The corpus is intended as ground truth for evaluating the output of LLM-based aviation agents. It was created by author santiisoutoo and last updated on Hugging Face in May 2026.

Use Cases

• Benchmarking LLM-based pilot and controller agents based on the synthetic ATC exchanges
• Training models for radiotelephony phraseology recognition based on the standard ICAO format
• Developing synthetic data generation tools for aviation communication based on the author-written methodology
• Studying structured dialogue patterns in ATC contexts based on the pilot-controller exchange format

Strengths

• Data is explicitly synthetic and author-written, ensuring no privacy issues from real operational data
• Exchanges follow the standardized ICAO Doc 4444 / Annex 10 phraseology, providing a consistent reference
• Last updated on 2026-05-25, indicating recent maintenance

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality, structure, and size require manual inspection after download
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Data is synthetic and contains no real flight identifiers or clearances, limiting realism for some applications
