Internet-based aviation language training

In 2003 the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) announced changes to provisions strengthening language proficiency requirements. These requirements are in force now which means that all pilots operating on international routes and all air traffic controllers who communicate with foreign pilots will need to have their English language proficiency formally assessed. Are you ready for this? ATC-Communication offers (web-based) training courses to reach the minimum required operational Level 4 and higher. ATC-Communication has trained and tested thousands of pilots and air traffic controllers worldwide.

Radiotelephony training

ICAO Radiotelephony is the operational language for pilots and air traffic controllers worldwide. ATC-Communication offers (web-based) training courses with professional instructors via an innovative web-based training method.

Modern advanced flight simulators offer a detailed copy of the cockpit of an aircraft and simulate every detail of the flight including vision and sounds. Approaches and landings on airports all over de world are very realistic. Chatter will increase the realism of the flights.
