      Likely the pilot is from mainland China, and did do better than his class-mates in English, but and has little listening experience to accents not usual in his school/academy being spoken in correct English word order - at the time this was recorded.
      Chinese teachers of English language do not have to be fluent in it. Also English is one of the few languages where questions are usually signified and implied only by a raising end of sentence tone and the specific context of what was said, and not with saying 'question' all the time at the start of each question's sentence as a signifier to the coming question.
      Just sayin' I'm sure he'll learn quick or be booted back to cargo, flying rubber dog poop out of Shinjang in PRC domestic only airspace.

    Just one piece of advice from a non-native speaker: if you see or suspect the person might not understand you, speak SLOWER, with PAUSES and EMPHASIZE words, not just raise your voice and repeat the same rapid gobbledygook over and over again. This doesn't really help! Think about it: we non-English speaking "outliers" went so far as to learn your language (if you think it's easy try French or Spanish, I'm not even speaking about frigging Chinese), so please be patient and talk down a bit to us foreigners. With that said, you would probably expect decent English from such a mission critical specialty as pilots. Now, proceed to make fun of the poor fella.

      @brianlanning836 5 років тому +24

      English is the standard language for air traffic control all over the world, even in countries that don't speak English. So it's completely appropriate for the air traffic controller to speak fast English to this pilot and expect him to understand. It's a job requirement for the pilot. The English needed for air traffic control is a very small subset of the English language. If this pilot can't understand and speak that small piece of the English language then he's creating a hazard and should be fired. The air traffic controller told him to stop short of a runway, and the pilot thought he was told to stop short of a different runway (3 or 4 times). If a plane were landing on the runway he was incorrectly crossing, hundreds of people can die. This is why the air traffic controller reacted this way. He was very aware of the danger this pilot's English skills were causing and had to get the pilot's attention before he acted on his wrong understanding of the instructions.
      For the record, I'm mostly fluent in Spanish also. But I struggle with understanding people sometimes, missing details along the way. But I would never put myself in a situation where people's lives depended on my Spanish. And my Spanish is far better than this pilot's English.

      @@brianlanning836 Brian Lanning English is standard language for many jobs. But that does not and unfortunately mean every body good with it. Every crew has to make sure that the information is received clearly by improve English, but in other hand, if someone can not communicate because of his limitation, as a native English speaker is his job to make sure that crew understand, really understand the information by talking slower a bit and be patient. You can not expect this guy would understand if you make him more panic. If something happen because of this miss communication, this both guys is guilty. One because can not speak English properly, other because not make the information send clearly. I was working with multinational companies in very high risk job with worker come from around the world. Our job is to make sure the information transfered properly and clear. Better to speak slow than fast but not understand.

      @@bedhenis Do you understand what an air traffic controller has to do? There's no time to hold someone's hand because they don't have enough English skills. What if this conversation had happened in the air? What if the pilot repeated the instructions correctly but didn't understand it? If miscommunication like this had caused an accident, the pilot would have been blamed 100%, not the controller... because they controller gave the correct instructions. It's the pilot's responsibility to understand and follow those instructions. The air traffic controller did nothing wrong. They don't have time to stop and explain English to someone who should already speak English.
      I suspect also that the controller talked to him that way to send a message... to the pilot, to everyone else, and to the recording. The controller was making it clear to everyone that the problem was the pilot's English. If you embarrass the pilot like that, then maybe they will realize they need to work on their English. And if you make it clear that his English is a problem, then maybe he shouldn't be flying.

    • @bedhenis
      @bedhenis 5 років тому

      @@brianlanning836 No doubt the pilot should improve his English. Like i said he need to talking English properly, but the fact on the field on that plane there's a pilot with a hundred peoples inside the plane. He must be understand what he must to do. So no advantage talking fast but he does not understand, better talking a bit slower but he understands. Better talking slow but once than fast but the the traffic crew should repeat it for many times. As you can see, wheen the trafic controller speak slower, the pilot could understand. I think the pilot also should ask air trafic control to talk a bit slower if he couldnot understand. Because of this job is so sensitive they both should know the communication should transfered clearly. You forget there is one principle in high risk job, that's called "Safety first". Embarrassing other people is not safety. But i agree with you, if the pilot does not improve his English, better he should not fly

      The ATC did not use the ICAO standard phraseology, a better way for the ATC to communicate is to speak slowly and use the standard phraseology e.g “Air China 981, confirm cleared to the ramp? “
      What most non-ATC people don’t understand that ICAO English and normal English is slightly different.
      And it seems that it’s mostly Americans, who tend to not use the standard phraseology and can be very risky in HF frequency in MWARA (outside VHF and Radar coverage for my ACC). Misunderstandings do happen a lot in HF, even more so when you don’t follow the standards.

    Guys, if someone doesn't understand you, don't be like this:
    ATC: _says something_
    Pilot: (doesn't understand)
    ATC: *_SAYS SOMETHING BUT LOUDER_*
    Be more like this:
    ATC: _says something_
    Pilot: (doesn't understand)
    ATC: _s a y s s o m e t h i n g b u t s l o w e r_
    When people don't understand you, that doesn't mean they're deaf. It will be much more helpful to speak a bit slower and clearer. This helps for me, at least. When something is said slower and clearer, I can recognise each word a lot better and thus better understand the meaning of what is being said.
