anyone got a direct translation of the chinese phrasology for ATC? would be interested to trying to understand what they are saying.
i.e. giving direct to to chinese speaking operators.
anyone tried speaking chinese to them in ATC?
other than the ne-hau and jai-jen?
numbers:
1 - yao (tone like out) or yi (in unambiguous cases)
2 - liang or er (in unambiguous cases)
3 - san
4 - si
5 - wu
6 - liu
7 - guai ( a dropping tone)
8 - ba
9 - jiu
0 - dong
10 - shi ( easily confused with 4 by non-native speakers so best avoid)
1000 - qian (sound like chi-en)
10000 - wan
levels normally read first 2 or 3 digits.
e.g. 8400m - gao du ba si (level 84)
12000m - gao du yao liang dong (level 120)
also can be long read: e.g. 8400m - gao du ba(8) qian(1000) si(4) (level 8 thousand 4, i.e. 8400)
12000m - gao du yi(1) wan(10000) liang(2) qian(1000) (level 12000) (yi same as yao = 1 but sound like seven so normally avoided, but in this case not ambiguous)
RT very similar to English in term of phraseology and format.
e.g. position report
bipop san(3) si(4), gao du jiu(9) liu(6), mepan wu(5) yao(1), ying da ji wu(5) guai(7) san(3) dong(0) (bipop 34, level 9600m, mepan 51, transponder 5730)
(5-letter position names read in English)
in above e.g. ying da ji = transponder
ATC reply: lei da kan dao le (radar seeing you = radar contact), jiao mepan (report mepan)
Pilot: ke yi zhi fei mepan ma? (Can we fly direct mepan?)
ATC: ke yi (approve) or zhi fei mepan (direct mepan)
ATC: hang dao fei xian (flight plan route)
Pilot: yao qiu you pian wu(5) hai li (request right deviation 5 NM)
Pilot: you tian qi, yao qiu zuo pian er shi (20) hai li (due wx, request left deviation 20 NM)
ATC: hang xiang yao(1) liang(2) dong(0) (fly heading 120)
ATC: shang gao du jiu(9) qian(1000) (climb to level 9000m)
ATC: luo si(4) qian(1000) ba(8) (des to level 4800m)
