Abstract :
The ICAO language proficiency requirements adopted by the ICAO Council in March of 2003 directly address the first two of these language-in-aviation issues, and addresses indirectly the third issue, the use of two languages in a single operating environment. In brief the recently adopted ICAO Language Proficiency Requirements are found in Annex 1-Personnel Licensing; Annex 6-Operation of Aircraft; Annex 10- Aeronautical Telecommunications, Volume IICommunication Procedures including those with PANS status, and Annex 11-Air Traffic Services, and they accomplish the following: Strengthen the requirement that the English language be available to international flights; Establish clear minimum proficiency level requirements for flight crew members and air traffic controllers; Introduce an ICAO language proficiency rating scale applicable to native and non-native speakers; Clarify the requirement for the use of both plain language and ICAO phraseologies; Standardize on the use of ICAO phraseologies; Recommend a testing schedule to demonstrate language proficiency and; Provide for service provider and operator oversight of personnel compliance. This work outlines the new standards and discusses implications for training and assessment. Keywords: aviation communication, ICAO, English language proficiency.
