ATC ICAO level
Bom dia,
I´m coming to Brazil on regular basis and I´m wondering if there is any minimum English skills required for ATC controllers??? Again and again I´m surprised about the low level of english spoken here e.g. GRU appch or CWB. Who is testing ATC? Is it done internally? Are we going down the same road as the chinese do (all are level 6!!! in the cockpit)?
Dear fellow pilots in this lovely country, could you re-consider speaking english with ATC? Would make things safer in terms of situational awarness for the other crews and would train ATC...
Feliz navidad e um boa ano novo from a non native English and non native Brazilian.
