    FOREWORD

    PURPOSE

    This course contains a carefully sequenced selection of training materials, giving progressive,

    systematic practice in radiotelephony phraseology for pilots.

    The exercises are designed primarily to teach operational fluency in the ROUTINE phraseology for

    IR flights. Unli!e routine phraseology, the language of NON"ROUTINE situations is not highly

    predicta#le. $o%ever, practice is also provided for a selection of non"routine situations, plus

    additional voca#ulary %or!.

    This course is suita#le for pilots or pilot trainees %ho %ish to learn, or revise, the language used for

    radiotelephony communications. It is particularly suita#le for people %or!ing at home or in a

    learning resources center. &ll the exercises are self"correcting.

    WARNING

    This course is based on a considerable amount of authentic material, but it does not attempt

    to teach

    fl!in" procedures

    an!thin" about a#iation other than En"lish $ords and phrases used in RT

    all the $ords that can be found in anysituation durin" a fli"ht

    %E&E% O' ENG%IS(

    The minimum level of English required to start this course is %hat language teachers call'intermediate(, i.e. a !no%ledge of the #asic ver# tense structures, ho% to ma!e questions and

    negative ver# forms, an a#ility to ma!e simple, correct statements and to understand fairly easy

    dialogue )in other %ords, the result of a#out three years of positive learning experience at school.

    &dditionally, the learner should !no% the international alpha#et *&lpha, +ravo, harlie, etc- and the

    system of num#ers used in aviation. The learner should also ha#e a basic )no$led"e of fl!in"

    &ir traffic controllers issue traffic advisories if another aircraft is in close proximity or if its

    &ir traffic control can provide radar traffic information %hen traffic is very near to your

    aircraft or %hen it may interfere %ith your aircraft1s direction of flight. ontrollers provide this

    information using the 'cloc!( system. Pour o%n aircraft is used as a reference. The nose is

    designated 3> o1cloc!, the right %ing 4 o1cloc!, the tail J o1cloc! and the left %ing 2 o1cloc!. oints
