Hello,

Just to ask for general ideas / sites that you have found useful for Aviation English - I'm mostly interested in Ground Personnel, but anything would be helpful.

Thanks in advance....

Sorry, can't recommend a site or book to you...only an experience.

I tutored a United Airlines ground crew mechanic a few years ago. He brought in his own material, mostly tech manuals and phrases he had heard and scrawled down to go over. He had me record many of the phrases and vocabulary so that he coud listen and practice later.

He also insisted that part of our class be outside, on the street, near loud traffic, which he thought would more closely resemble the noisy tarmac.

Guy,
Did he make you eat really bad, high cal food too while having a scratchy blanket around you?

Thanks, it would seem your searchengine is better than mine...

note: the more words you enter into the search

box, the more refined the search result will be.


If you really want to narrow something down,

use the 'with the exact phrase' search option.
