Field notes
LocalTC combines a flight-simulator plugin with a local speech-and-voice pipeline and a constrained extraction model. The homepage describes FAA-template phraseology, checked readbacks, computed taxi routes, ATIS generation, radar vectors, traffic sequencing, and emergency handling. It also identifies a Windows target, an Ollama-based 1B–4B model range, and GNU AGPL v3 source availability. The listed install is free, while the page separately offers optional coffee support.
