to use our own language with spanish-speaking pilots if they call in in spanish (if they call in english we always answer in english).
So, there is two types of pilots around:
1. those who believe flying in a multi-language environment is dangerous
2. those who believe flying in a multi-language environment is not dangerous
Why is that? I lived under the impression that safety is an absolute measure and there is no compromise?
when flying from/to EFHK the pilots and the controllers speak always English
In most if not all European countries north of the Alps English is the mandatory language for
IFR flights, while local languages are permitted for VFR flights.
