Abstract
![CDATA[While non-native English Speakers (NNES) are trained in aviation communication and they must attain a certain English proficiency level before being awarded an aeronautical licence, native English speakers (NES) are not in practice subject to the same requirements. This paper discusses some of the issues posed by NES not following the standard aviation phraseology and examines the English Language Proficiency and radiotelephony requirements for NES in English speaking countries. The recommendations of ICAO (2010) concerning the responsibilities of NES are rarely implemented. Practical suggestions for the training of NES were made by participants of the 2018 ICAEA workshop and are augmented with suggestions coming from flight training experience. The main recommendation is for mandatory training and testing of aviation phraseology and communication procedures for NES pilots and Air Traffic Controllers. Training should include language awareness and testing should include understanding of NNES transmissions and production of transmissions intelligible by NNES.]]
