English is very important to be a qualified pilot. I remember global explorers Hong Liang and Zhang Xinyu, who tried their best to learn English when preparing for their global adventure. Learned how to drive various means of transportation, including cars, planes and ships.

At present, a common problem in civil aviation is that many pilots are not qualified in spoken English. Even many problems encountered by pilots are caused by poor oral English communication. In the future, China will face a serious shortage of flying talents. To be a qualified pilot, you need to master not only superb flying skills, but also fluent English.

Because the airline interview requires an English test. Interview with the aviation school should also take an oral test. After becoming a pilot, you should continue to improve your English. So why do pilots have to learn English well? Because pilots may encounter various problems during the flight.

When foreign towers make calls, they usually use English. If there is an emergency, but the pilot doesn't hear the call and warning from the controller on the console, it will lead to tragedy. For example, at 6: 40 pm on June1996+February 12, such a tragic event happened near the airport in New Delhi, India. Saudi Arabian Airlines Flight 763 collided with Kazakhstan Airlines 1907 near this airport.

In fact, this accident can be completely avoided. It's because the co-pilot of Kazakhstan Airlines 1907 flight didn't hear the warning from the controller on the console of New Delhi airport in India. It was because of poor English that I dropped the wrong flying height. Finally, it caused a head-on collision of Ethiopian Airlines Flight 763. It can be said that the lesson of this tragedy is painful, so all airlines require pilots to have certain English ability, which is also for the sake of aviation safety.
