According to the requirements of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) for pilots' English language ability, Fei Biao Branch organized and developed the English level examination system for civil aviation pilots, and organized experts in civil aviation English to conduct professional examinations on the examination system question bank.
Examination content and learning skills
The first part:
Listening Comprehension You will hear several groups of dialogues or sentences with the length of 10 seconds or 20 seconds. After each group of dialogues or statements, you will ask a question accordingly. Talk and ask questions only once. There will be a pause after asking questions (about 17 seconds). You must read the four options of ABCD and click on the right one.
Learning Skills: This sub-topic is very similar to the multiple-choice listening questions in daily English exams, but the difference is that each question is closely related to the professional knowledge of civil aviation, from the duties of the captain to the handling of special situations. The difficulty is that each question is recorded by different people, and there may be noise interference. It is suggested that when preparing the first part, you should read the Civil Aviation English Reading Course first and be familiar with some key words, such as decompression, fire engines and emergency rescue. If there are still problems in the recognition and pronunciation of these words, it is very unlikely that they can be correctly understood and judged in a short time.
example
BAW725, we can't accept such a downwind on runway 12. Can we change to runway 30?
Q: Which runway will the crew use to take off?
No crew member of runway a 12b 30 C D will take off.
The second part:
In this part, you will hear a land-air call. Ask to repeat 20 sentences of land and air communication (listening and speaking form). Among them, 1-8 stands for level 2~3, 9~ 12 stands for level 4, 13~ 16 stands for level 5 and 17~20 stands for level 6. When the overall pass rate reaches 75%, it is judged to be passed. At present, we basically only cover the part of level 4.
Learning skills: This part should not only know what happened at the specified time, but also repeat it completely according to the recorded content, and also write down some key points, such as the situation of the accident and the height at this time. This requires understanding and memory of land-air communication. Suggest students who have difficulties in this part: 1. Find the correct test-taking method. I suggest you know what happened the first time and write down the details the second time. Don't listen blindly in panic. In short, find the best way to deal with the exam. 2. I don't understand the words because I don't know them, or I don't hear them, or I'm nervous and "my brain is blank", or I don't have time to write down key information. For example, students are slow to respond to numbers in air-to-air calls. It is suggested to find corresponding exercises in textbooks and practice a lot, memorizing the contents of 900 sentences.
the third part
In the land-air communication part, you play the pilot and communicate with the air traffic control. Information such as your airplane call sign will be displayed on the screen. After the conversation begins, listen carefully to the instructions of external voice or air traffic control. A * * * has 15 to 20 sentences of dialogue. After each conversation, you must make relevant answers according to the prompts. Read each call only once.
Learning skills: the difficulty of this topic has increased greatly, and the special situation part has also increased. For example, there is less simple back reading, so you should pay more attention to your emergency land and air English. For example, what would you say if you had a heart attack (familiar students know that this situation is an emergency and you should call Pan Pan)? What should you say when you are threatened by a bomb (May Day, ............................................................................................................................................................... Therefore, in this part, we not only examine the daily English expression ability, but also examine the professional knowledge of land and air communication, practice makes perfect, and accumulate vocabulary, sentence patterns and high-frequency test sites.
The fourth part:
In OPI (oral examination), you will have an interview dialogue with the OPI examiner through the computer. There will be a picture on your barrier. The examiner will ask you some questions about the pictures. Your answers will be recorded and the longest test time will be 15 minutes.
Learning skills: it is difficult to describe pictures and answer professional knowledge. But this is also the focus of the exam. Picture description, I suggest you pay more attention to the civil aviation air crash accidents in recent years and make some summaries yourself, such as description ideas, picture classification (tail impact, nose flip, engine fire, emergency training, landing gear problems, hydraulic system, lightning, CB, etc. ), and then ask experienced students or teachers to help correct grammar mistakes, and then make reciting equipment. Interview questions, from life to professional knowledge, are very extensive. Tell me about the hydraulic system/What would you do if you had to consider taking off? Suppose you had to land on your belly, what kind of assistance would you ask for? /Tell me about CRM. /What are the answers of a good captain? In this part, I suggest: First of all, we should review the existing textbooks and get familiar with words and fixed sentence patterns. Secondly, write down the answers to the questions yourself and make corrections. Suggestions are concise and clear, avoiding unfamiliar sentence patterns. Finally, practice makes perfect, practice makes perfect, find a partner, one as an examiner and the other as a candidate, and practice with each other.
This part of the exam is completed by video with the examiner on the computer, and the time is about 15 minutes, which is divided into four stages.
The first stage: preheating (1-2 minutes) preheating and introduction stage, the main problem is daily life.
The second stage: the initial grading stage of proficiency test (5-6 minutes), which mainly tests the application ability of professional related languages.
The third stage: exploration (6-7 minutes) in-depth examination stage, which mainly tests the language application ability in abnormal and special situations, and this part also includes looking at pictures and speaking.
The fourth stage: Wind down (1-2 minutes) ending stage, mainly ending with daily topics.
