Hola, Enrique. Bienvenida al foro. Perdone mi Español malo.

Bienvenida al foro tambien, Enrique. Buena suerte en el aprendizaje de nuestro idioma confuso!

For those who don't recognize Engrique's language goal or why it is important:

"An ICAO review of 28000 aviation incident / accident reports has found that over 70% of the problems were caused by language. ICAO standards now demand that all pilots flying internationally and all air traffic controllers providing services to international flights must have a minimum level of English. This level of English is known as ICAO Operational Level 4."

Hi

really.

ICAO forces at min level 4 of English for all pilots ...

One Idea:
The flight schools with should do packs of sleeping, eating..., and speak english aeronautical, to obtein certificate to level 4 or 5. ... in 15-20 days intensive course... for all pilots the other countries, (spain, portugal, France, Germany, italy, argentina, mexico, .......) pack all included

I agree completely, Enrique. This was, in fact, my vision for my flight school. Unfortunately, the Transportation Security Agency in the US makes it extremely difficult to train students from other countries.

I have gone through the procedure to become an approved "alien flight training provider," which requires annual security training for me and my employees, as well as an annual TSA audit. I have now trained two students now from other countries -- but before they could begin instruction, they had to go through FBI background investigations, get fingerprinted and photographed by the government, get photographed again by me, and await approval (which can take between one and three months!) So, it's difficult for a student to plan and schedule training in this country, with the current bureaucracy.

It was much easier ten years ago, before our security people began regarding general aviation aircraft as weapons.

Hello drseti


I do not say to learn to fly.

I say, to learn aeronautical English, it is not necessary to fly, do not even do not even to flight a plane.
only, to speak, speak and to speak English,

in USA is there eschools and houses for foreign students and practic and to improve English?.
and to make it more real, you simulate a classroom with radio and headsets....
but its not necesary to fly. Only 8-10 hours to day only speak, learn, aeronautical english.

only: "say again please"

I understand, Enrique, and I agree. However, I don't know how the TSA will respond to such a course, if it is offered by a flight school. I'm not sure, but they might consider ground schools to come under their jurisdiction. I hesitate to ask them, because I might not like their answer.

I was told by a TSA agent that ground school was not covered by the rule. I asked because I had an exchange student take my private pilot ground class at the local JR college.
