Teaching trainee pilot English
Hi,
I'm an English teacher in Bangkok and I have a student who is a trainee pilot.
Up till now I've been working on his general English skills but in his initial interview at the school he expressed a desire to work on some job specific language as well.
I plan to work on the phonetic alphabet, but I have some other questions, are numbers pronounced in any special way (9 = niner)?
Is there somewhere I can find short transcripts of communications between aircraft and ATC?
I'd welcome any advice or tips.

Hello JamieP
You might want to check the International Civil Aviation Organization's Manual of Radotelephony.

You could also try getting your student to listen to LiveATC and see how he gets on with that:
