Actually, from what I have researched, the British ATC at London Heathrow and Gatwick are among the best. This is what I have heard in my experience.

I am an advocate for lobbying the FAA and other "native" speaking countries on the need to not only break the ba...errr..backs of the non-native speakers to get their acts together on the airwaves regarding radiotelephony standards/aviation English but also to instruct monolingual speakers of the needs and necessities of a standard aviation or International English on the frequencies.

What are your opinions?

I would appreciate your responses,
Regards,
PlaneEnglish
