hoteluni.,
well maybe trying is the operative word...the french, esp. would rather not speak english. BUT, my point is that these language barriers are a safety issue.

sam34...I was not aware that flight training is conducted in french(my mistake), i guess it allows for a smooth progression during training...but, again, also like you said, it could lead to problems at a later stage. I just feel strongly about it since I have been a flight Instructor for many years now and have flown with many young students who have struggled with the language issue. This afcourse hampers their training efforts leading some to quit. It is very sad to see that, but, maybe it is necessary.

yes...we all have a job to do:
AVIATE
NAVIGATE
COMMUNICATE
PEACE
