Aviation English
Henry Emery and Andy Roberts
ICAO 3–4 (A2-B1)
Aviation English has been specifically designed to teach English language communication skills to pilots and air traffic controllers, and to help them achieve and maintain Operational Level 4 (now an international requirement enforced by the International Civil Aviation Organization). Each of the units covers the language needed to deal with ‘non-routine’ scenarios. The Student’s Book and CD-ROM (included in pack) provide 130 hours of content.
