This course is specifically designed for foreign students who struggle with the English Language and need to improve their knowledge of English radiotelephony phraseology.  It incorporates the English language skills which student pilots need to know in order to communicate with confidence and clarity with the tower, and also with their instructors during briefings and flight instruction, thereby improving efficiency and ensuring the safe operation of the aircraft.

Clear and precise communication with the tower, and understanding of the general aviation phrases and terminology are critical for the pilots to be able to perform their specialised duties and to remain calm and focused at all times.
