English to Work as a Pilot

TRY IT FREE

The job of a pilot is one of the professions that requires the most preparation before finally having the chance to practice. Hour after hour invested in training and preparing will give you satisfaction when you take command of an aircraft. Several of those hours should be spent studying English!

With ABA English you can follow your own study routine to reach the high standards expected of a pilot. Also, you can work and learn English at the same time, with the possibility to study at any moment, even from the air, although no matter how much we appreciate and support such enthusiasm, we do not recommend studying English while you are piloting. Don’t worry, opportunities will not be lacking because the contents of your courses travel with you everywhere.

IMPROVE YOUR JOB OPPORTUNITIES

A pilot is inevitably exposed to communications in English and other languages in their job both by radio and in person when moving between places. Being perfectly bilingual will be very important, even to work on domestic flights where you will also have foreign passengers. Both to improve your job options and to communicate with your passengers and coworkers on your trips, knowing English is an absolute necessity if you are a pilot.

What Level of English Do You Need to Work as a Pilot?

The recommended level of English to work as a pilot is intermediate or advanced. Although a pilot does not spend the entire flight communicating in English with passengers, everything they do need to say is of utmost importance. The distortion from the airplane speakers and the ambient noise already make understanding difficult; don’t add difficulty to communications with limited English!

Here are some common English phrases from bilingual pilot dialogues:

Please, fasten your belts. (Please, fasten your seatbelts).

We’ll be experiencing turbulence, please return to your seats. (We will be experiencing turbulence, please return to your seats).

We’re bound to arrive in 15 minutes. (We will arrive in 15 minutes).
