What is irritating is how thinly veiled the racism is and how quickly it surfaces on a thread like this.
Contrary to popular belief you don’t need to be able to speak English to fly a jet.
Last time I checked there are 6 official ICAO languages, Chinese being one of them.
Chinese system is different, ATC stands for Air Traffic Control.
This is where you fly, this is your offset, this is where you descent. The pilot operates the airplane and ATC controls the airplane.
Different doesn’t mean it’s wrong or somehow inferior to what “we” do.
So typically Pprune-ish, "well 30 years ago I had this happen or 30 years ago that was the case so it must be the same now blah blah blah"
NO.
That’s exactly what Boeing's response was after not one but two fatal accidents.
’Well it wasn’t a western company so they have done it wrong’.
STOP doing that.
