Professionals in all industries speak a language that is half slang. Aviation is no exception, but there are few areas where so much depends on accurate words and understanding. Suffice it to recall that the price of aviation error is measured in human lives.

  • Pilots and dispatchers need to be fluent, flight attendants and airport staff require a confident conversational level, as do mechanics and maintenance staff. However, each role has its own specific set of vocabulary, words and expressions. 

Courses

The specifics of aviation English are described in the EASA English and ICAO English classifications. They differ slightly in methodology, but are fully synchronised in terms of vocabulary and complexity. 

In any case, all students are trained using industry dictionaries and the examples that include the records of real-life negotiations from previous working situations.

  • Technicians and mechanics study general aviation terminology and terms for certain types of aircraft, the names of units, assemblies, tools etc.

  • Pilots and controllers focus on the details of radio exchanges of aircraft with the control tower during take-off and landing, vocabulary and terms for regular and emergency situations.

  • Flight attendants prioritise the study of frequent passenger questions, answers, conflict resolution, communication with pilots and ground services.

  • Ground security services, business terminal staff, passenger escort and other units all focus on their specifics.

The process starts with baseline language proficiency assessment and based on the results of this assessment each student receives a personal curriculum. Depending on the student’s base level of language proficiency, the training can begin from Elementary, Pre-intermediate or Intermediate level.
