Dual language ATC in germany exists only for VFR traffic where both languages may be used. For IFR traffic only english is allowed, except for emergency use of course. However, since ATCOs from all over europe work both in germany and in eurocontrol controlling german airspace any local lingo the relevant ATCO might speak should work as well.
May I add that there's a little device in the commercial aeroplane called TCAS? Makes this dual language r/t thread
almost obsolete.
Yet in CDG, had they been using a common language (English in that instance) the chances of an accident occuring would be slim to none.
Pure speculation on your part. They did not maintain sterile cockpit and were chatting. Yet you shamelessly point the finger at only one person/party.
Who is now being arrogant and ignorant?
(*) before posting the ususal BS on the CDG collision of Zagreb , or even Cali, it would be helpful to read again the conclusions of the 3 Accidents reports. Language did not caused , or even significantly contributed to those accidents. Language is mentioned , but not as a cause or a listed contributing factor.
Watcher, please don't bother those people with facts. They have already made up their minds.
