Settle down folks...
Australia is moving to adopt international language standards for pilots and air traffic controllers to ensure all communication in the air is clear and accurate.
Proposed new rules issued by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority set out English language proficiency standards.
Existing holders of Australian flight crew licenses who fly domestically within Australia do not need to take any action.
However, holders of Australian flight crew licenses who fly internationally will need to obtain at least a level four English language proficiency.
The international requirement is a joke though.
