The program includes air-ground communication standard speech patterns that include all phases of the flight day by day. There are various audios and transcripts from airports around the world. Automatic Terminal Information Service (ATIS) questions have an important place in many testing systems for the evaluation of pilots for ICAO LPR licensing purposes. This section contains ATIS examples of the world's most crowded international airports and their transcripts. You will be expected to listen to the transcript and also familiarize yourself with the Standard ATIS formats by comparing them to the text on PDF pages. Most pilots believe that ground is the most complicated stage primarily at major airports where the instructions can be lengthy and difficult. We have a variety of audios from different parts of the world. Keep in mind the differences that may exist from F A A to ICAO. Remember that our goal is that you practice your listening and reading back skills. We suggest you play, pause and understand, practice reading back and short handwriting, and press the play button again. Additionally, transcripts from the sections can be downloaded if desired. Radiotelephony Phraseology course contains a carefully sequenced selection of training materials, giving progressive, systematic practice in radiotelephony phraseology for pilots and controllers. The exercises are designed primarily to teach operational fluency in the ROUTINE phraseology for IFR flights. Unlike routine phraseology, the language of NON-ROUTINE situations is not highly predictable. However, practice is also provided for a selection of non-routine situations, plus additional vocabulary work. This section includes the ''Standard Vocabulary and Phrases Test''. In each question, the meanings of the words and phrases to be used in Radiotelephone communications are given and it is asked which of the options has the specified meaning or not. To be successful in the exam, you must answer 80% of the questions correctly. The lessons consist of the following sections and contain some important advice for students. Key words and phrases, typical changes, listening and repetition, writing, and exercises with non-routine situations are included. Each Section is divided into ROUTINE phraseology practice, and then NONROUTINE exercises. These events are then followed by a REVIEW, which serves to bring together the phrases learned in each Section. Each Review contains: • Model Flight •Live Traffic In this part there are two simulations of complete flights, one an imaginary model flight, The procedure is the same as for the Flight from Dublin to Paris simulation. The other based on live traffic. This simulation uses live traffic. The procedure is the same as for the Flight from Dublin to Paris simulation. They are given here to make the simulation as realistic as possible. CaptainPilot ICAO English Online Course consist of the following sections, Some important advice for learners; 1) Key words and Phrases; Check the pronunciation and accentuation of the words in the list. In order to better understand the new keywords and phrases used at this stage of the flight, we recommend that you look at the aviation dictionary and examine it. 2) Typical Exchange ; This shows the kind of dialogue that will be practiced in the exercises. You can see on the PILOT side what you will have to say, and on the CONTROLLER side what you will have to understand. 3) Listen and Repeat ; Repeat the pilot's words. Practice until you can do it easily. You must learn to understand the controller's words without looking at the text. Remember, there is no text of the controller's words when you are in the cockpit. 4) Write ; Write the pilot's words in the boxes (the controller's words are given). Check with the recording if necessary. 5) Check; Check that your written words are exactly the same as the word in the CHECK section. If there is a mistake, correct it, and listen to the recording again. Exercises with non-routinesituations ; When you know the routine phraseology very well, you can turn to the non-routine section. 1) Listen and Write; Read the question for the first dialogue. Listen to the first dialogue and the question at the end of it. Stop the transcript. If you know the answer, write it down; if not, listen again. If the questions seem too difficult, come back to them after the second Listen and Write exercise. Continue in the same way with dialogues 2 and 3. 2) Check ; Check your answers to the questions in the CHECK section. In this section you will learn how to use the Traffic Information instructions and what words and expressions are used. To better understand the new keywords and phrases used during this phase of the flight. You will learn how to use the Voice-ATIS broadcast format and what words and sentences are used. The pilot listens to the ATIS just before first contact and notes the code letter; At check-in, the pilot reports the code letter of the copied ATIS. This allows the controller to verify that the pilot has copied the existing ATIS. It is normal practice for the controller to update the pilot if the ATIS or any element thereof subsequently changes significantly. By completing all flight stages of Radiotelephony Phraseology training module of the ICAO English course, we have come to the final review section. You will find routine radiotelephony phraseology that includes Pilot - Controller instructions, which includes all phases of flight. Each Review contains: • Model Flight ; REXBURY TO WINTON (COMPLETE FLIGHT) •Live Traffic ; DUBLIN TO PARIS (COMPLETE FLIGHT) the FINAL REVIEW. In this part there are two simulations of complete flights, one an imaginary model flight, the other based on live traffic. After completing the RADIOTELEPHONY PHRASEOLOGY training module at the ICAO English Course, take Proficiency Test 2 to measure your language proficiency level. In this episode of the ICAO English Online Course, we will learn by whom and when the standard radiotelephony patterns in the AERONAUTICAL STANDARD PHRASEOLOGY database should be used as they are in Doc4444. Aeronautical Standard Phraseology Alpha, Bravo, Charlie are included in phrases starting with. There are Syntax, Who Says, When Used, Examples sections of each Phrase. Let's take a little interest in how this database is created before we start working. Phraseologies have evolved over time with periodic initiatives by bodies responsible for codifying and standardizing their use. ICAO phraseologies are developed to provide maximum clarity, brevity, and unambiguity in communications. Phraseologies are applicable to most routine situations; however, they are not intended to cover every conceivable situation which may arise. The success and widespread adoption of the ICAO phraseologies has given rise, to some degree, to an expectation on the part of some users that phraseologies alone could suffice for all the communicative needs of radiotelephony communications. ICAO provisions related to the use of language adopted by the ICAO Council in 2003 better clarify that, while ICAO phraseologies should always be used whenever they are applicable, there also exists an inherent requirement that users also have sufficient “plain” language proficiency. ICAO documents make this clear in a number of instances. There is a 10-question exam in each section of the AERONAUTICAL STANDARD PHRASEOLOGY database. It measures whether you fully understand the meaning of the instructions in the database, by whom and when they should be used. Each Sentence includes Syntax, Who Says It, When Used, Examples, and its reference in ICAO Doc 4444.The goal is to improve safety by helping Pilots, Controllers and Ground stations communicate clearly.​ The statements can be applied to most routine situations; By learning these instructions, which you can use at every stage of the flight, you can manage the operation successfully and safely without error. The ICAO phraseologies alone may be sufficient for all the communicative needs of radiotelephone communications. Exam questions have been specially designed to increase mastery of when phraseologies are used. After completing the AERONAUTICAL STANDARD PHRASEOLOGY training module in the ICAO English Online Course, you can take the Proficiency Master Test to measure your language proficiency level. In this part of the ICAO Online English Course, we will examine the SID/STAR SCENARIO, standard phraseology to be used in SID/STAR Departure and Arrival procedures used in entering and exiting terminal areas with heavy air traffic. In the first stage, the scenarios will be examined as videos. Then, ATC clearance and pilot read back audios, Pilot anticipated actions and Doc 4444 - PANS-ATM references used in each scenario are included. There is a SID/STAR SCENARIO Exam at the end of the chapter. Through all SID/STAR SCENARIOs, you will become familiar with the standard phraseology examples used by Airline pilots and Air Traffic Controllers. What the speech patterns used mean is explained in detail in the Pilot anticipated action section. ICAO ENGLISH ONLINE COURSE has been designed to improve your aviation communication skills and enable you to successfully pass the ICAO Proficiency Exam, and you have studied many subjects so far. Now you will do the necessary work to get familiar with the types of questions that you will encounter in such an exam. ICAO Proficiency Exam Preparation Course: Key Elements and Content Recommendations ; Designed to improve the aviation communication skills of flight personnel and enable them to successfully pass the ICAO Proficiency Exam, the ICAO Proficiency Exam Preparation Courses are critical for pilots and air traffic controllers. The basic elements that an effective ICAO Proficiency Exam Preparation Course should include are as follows. 1. Language Skills and Aviation Terms Training 2. Communication Strategies and Scenario Training 3. Developing Speaking and Listening Skills 4. Technology Based Tools and Simulations 5. Feedback and Evaluation 6. Cultural Differences and Appropriate Communication 7.

AERONAUTICAL STANDARD PHRASEOLOGY As it is known, two important subjects are measured in proficiency exams, Plain English and Standard Phraseologism. In-flight operation is normally expected to be performed using standard patterns. However, sometimes it is necessary to maintain a secure communication using plain English in unexpected situations during the operation. In this case, the need for simple English skills to come into play and come to a level that can communicate safely without causing misunderstandings arises.

This course is suitable for pilots or pilot trainees who wish to learn, or revise, the language used for radiotelephony communications. It is particularly suitable for people working at home or in a learning resources centre. All the exercises are self-correcting.

But the content of your messages is easily comprehensible from the context. ICAO English Level 4 - Sentence structure Your sentence structure clearly expresses the intended content of your message. You can express time using various tenses. Your syntax is not flawless, but you can easily tell the difference between the past and the present, you can use plurals, and use various prepositions.

It might take you a bit longer in some cases, but that does not mean serious problems. ICAO English Level 4 - Vocabulary Aviation English vocabulary extends with your flying experience. What we consider important is when your vocabulary is adequate to your flying experience. It is also important that you are able to communicate with other pilots and ATCs using your vocabulary. Regarding conversations about different topics, you can express yourself using your own words, describing or paraphrasing essentials of various topics. ICAO English Level 4 - Message comprehension We expect a bit more than just a plane aviation phraseology, aviation communications and its correct use. To acquire ICAO English LEVEL 4, you also need to be able to use simple language, not only the aviation English besides the standard aviation communication and aviation phraseology. You need to comprehend various situations. It is possible you will not understand immediately, but after repeating the message, you will understand the content of the message, or at least the context. You are not afraid to use "say again" phrase. ICAO English Level 4 - Interaction You are not afraid do speak. If you do not understand, you do not remain silent, but ask for clarification or use the magic aviators' phrase "say again".
