Hi there,
I'm an Itaf pilot usaf trained and currently on exchange with RAF.
Best piece of advice I can give them, get an american girlfriend! Battle proven method, I'm dead serious!
By the way what's your back ground PE and or who do you work for?
Because if you are service you should have around plenty of service pilots that went through possibly the same training system, you'll find even more in the Italian forum.
If you work for a company, which I don't think, it's a shame whatever armed force is wasting money since you don't even know where to start not knowing those kids needs.
Most probably you are the good'ol pilot given the ****ty job absolutely not flying related.
Please tell me I'm wrong!
Sorry I'm just kidding today.
Seriously I would ask on the Italian forum; before I give you any suggestion are those ghuys taking any english class in the states before starting?
In my opinion there's no point teaching aviation english without a solid base, aviation english is relatively easy because you'll learn to be familiar with the technical words, which after some time are always the same, in reasonable time. How I did it? reading aviation fiction novel!
It's when they talk cricket i'm lost!
Cheers
Bufe
