I believe the Talking Horse sent something about it the other day. If I am not mistaken, EK will hire some aviation English "experts" from Australia to organize the tests for us. I wonder what form of English this ICAO directive will be based on. These tests, if not standardized in one general English format, would be rather cumbersome. Imagine a test prepared by a person from South Africa or New Zealand, to name a few. It could be biased in favor of that person's language background. What stands as acceptable for an Australian, could be unacceptable for a Zimbabwean or American.
