Pilots and ATCOs need a solid grasp of English, but don't forget that proficiency in English during routine situations is as equally important as English needed to handle non-routine situations. This should not only include reading back clearances, flight levels, headings, squawk codes but also communicative functions to trigger actions, share information, manage a pilot-controller relation (including rejecting complaints and reprimands) and manage a pilot controller dialogue.
Aviation English Asia Ltd courses include activities for developing proficiency in both routine and non-routine situations.
