Question:
When commercial pilots fly to countries where English is not widely spoken, do pilots have difficulty understanding the air traffic controllers? Or what about when pilots from countries where English is not widely spoken fly to countries like Canada and USA?
What is meant by the term Raleigh-Durham?
What do air traffic controllers or pilots do when they don't understand the other person's broken/horrible/hard to understand English?
Answers:
Yeah..You're right..We can't understand them..I am working as atc in athens international airport -Eleftherios Venizelos..
We have often problems to understand pilots from arab countries and also british airways pilots..The first ones speak broken english or better..they speak english with horrible accent and not clear at all..With the second ones..we can't understand them because they speak british style english..and is difficult for us...
Usually in these situations we repeat at least three times instructions for approach-taxy-or departure-or checking...
when we don't understand what they say we just inform our supervisor and we work put the problem with groupwork in order to avoid critical situations or misunderstandings..
Thank god..until now we didn't any crashes or emrgencies...
But accidents can happen..like.wrong angles of approach..wrong taxyways..or wrong holding points at the end of the runways that could result in deadly accidents..
are co-axial rotor helicopters still built and used anymore?
English is the universal language of air traffic control. You cannot be a controller if you are not fluent in English.can i become a pilot in the RAF with asthma?
As a flight attendant, I don't know as much as a pilot would, but I'm pretty sure that english is the primary language spoken by the ATC. We fly from the US-Europe all the time and there are never any problems with communication--it's pretty standard all around.Why will it take 25 years for the SAX-40 to replace current passanger jets?
"Say again" after doing this about 5 or 6 times they put on a controller that can speak better......maybeWhy do they build all around airports,then complain about noise & safety ?
Yes! And each country has its own nature of calling altitude and heading as well as broken English sometimes garbling the standard, accepted nomenclature. Trust me, English is the standard, accepted language of the International Aviation community, but if you have ever spoken to a person that doesn't use it as their spoken tongue, you know how difficult it can be to understand some's usage and accents.Can a Canadian own a aircraft with American registration in Canada?
Accident can happen. Look at the 1977 accident on the island of Tenerife in the Canary Islands. Because of the ATC heavy accent, the communication between the two airplanes and the ATC miss understood each other and can only guess what the other was saying. Check out the transcript of the actual recording. Here you have pilots and ATC error, all caused by a bombing of the major airport by a terrorist and a sudden fog.whats the smallest plane in the world?
Great story and must see...
Are Muslim pilots employed by airlines?
There was a crash of a B-707 flying from Columbia to JFK sometime in the late 1980'sApparently the Spanish speaking pilot didn't have the communication skills to tell ATC that he had a fuel emergency..
ATC sent him on the standard approach over the North Shore of Long Island where the A/c crashed and killed a lot of people.
