Speech Imp..imped..impedi....Problem

[Buitenzorg]

I'm utterly appalled that anyone in aviation could suggest such a restriction.

May I remind you of arguably the most famous quote of the Battle of Britain:

"Of course I've seen the b-b-b-b-b-bast@rds. I'm trying to w-w-w-w-w-work out what to do!"

I just read that ICAO is planning to bring in mandatory radio skills and language testing for all persons who operate radios in commercial aviation. So anyone with a speach impediment or language dificulty will be sorted out.

"speach" impediment? Those with language problems will be sorted out...looks like you're in trouble then

[rwm]

Sorry, just my splel, pels, I mean spelling skills are in trouble.

Settle down Guys/Girls............

Are there any Girls here...........or am I wasting my correctness...?

ICAO has ALWAYS allowed "real" assessment in areas of practical application.............

Color blind folk are given a real practical challenge to see if they can dfferentiate between the colors on the ground......................and so has the folk that have "failed" the earphone test...........

If you can understand and acknowledge the ATC guy/girl with a clearance.............then thats a pass.

Next youŽll be trying to ban people with other disabilities......

An acquaintance has a sexual preference for little lambs. Very few people would consider this as being unusual or a disability.
However, if discovered, could it affect his chances of getting a sheep-mustering job?

Did not think that was all that unusual for our Kiwi friends?
