English for Aviation is written by two authors with vast experience in teaching aviation English. The material has been authenticated by pilots, air traffic controllers and aviation English trainers in countries such as Spain, France, Italy, Brazil, Asia, and the Middle East. The book has eight units taking students from pre-flight checks, through the flight path, to switching off the engines, with all content aligned to ICAO 'Operational Level 4' guidelines. Events covered include ground movements, departure, cruising, contact and approach, and landing. The course supports standard radiotelephony phraseology and helps to improve students' plain English in the skill areas specified by ICAO, such as pronunciation, structure, vocabulary, fluency, comprehension, and interactions.
This text investigates the specific linguistic requirements necessary for aviation professionals to meet ICAO Operational Level 4 standards. The authors, Sue Ellis and Terence Gerighty, leverage their extensive experience in aviation English instruction to create a structured curriculum. By integrating authentic feedback from pilots and air traffic controllers across multiple continents, the book provides a standardized framework for improving communication in high-stakes flight environments.
