Introduction to Air Communication

From ALPHA and BRAVO to WHISKEY and ZULU, our students are immersed into the lingo and vocabulary used daily in Air Communication. An important component of the Aviation English program is to develop student phonics in terms of how a word is pronounced, establishing the sounds of it and not only what it means.

  • Within that context, students are introduced to and develop knowledge and comprehension of how these words and phrases are used in sentences and become familiar with and fluent in their everyday use. In doing so, students practically apply and role play such scenarios. They are guided in doing so through tools including pre-recorded scenarios in real life situations.
  • Scenarios include:
    a. Pre-flight circumstances and use
    b. Ground movements
    c. Departure, Climbing and Cruising
    d. En-Route Events
    e. Contact and Approach
    f. Mistakes and Readbacks g. Communication Errors
    h. Requesting and Clarification
    i. Managing Communications
    j. Abbreviations
    k. American vs British English
