Just a small observation.
We in UK aviation are usually the first in line to condemn countries like Spain and France for speaking in their native tongue on the ATC frequency. Something that ICAO allows them to do.
Then why are we so surprised and defensive ('it is our right!, we filed a difference with ICAO!') when local and foreign pilots question this NON STANDARD use of a discrete international emergency frequency?
Must be human nature.
I say:
1. One language in aviation
2. GPS-es in every single aircraft.
Fair deal?
