Yachtpilot never mind the delay
Ok, I got it and have just read it.
I must say I agree to some extent. One only language on frequency surely boosts situational awareness and therefore safety.
The problem is not the compulsory use of English for all professional pilots irrespective of his mother tongue or nationality, as most of them are able to manage themselves in english (I believe).
The problem is what to do with non professional pilots flying small planes who lack the skill to comunicate in english? Is it possible to compel someone with the nationality of the state he's flying in to use a foreign language? I'm afraid it isn't or ,at least, very difficult to.
So...
