The International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) has introduced language proficiency requirements for air traffic controllers and pilots with the aim of improving language proficiency levels and reducing the frequency of communication errors worldwide.
BLUE SKY AVIATION Flight School is an ICAO EN (ICAO English) approved organisation by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA).

The ICAO English Language test is mandatory for all pilots and student pilots flying outside of their home country where they are native speakers. The aim of the test is to test the pilot’s level of language proficiency in communication in international flight operations. The level of language proficiency achieved shall be endorsed on the pilot’s licence, including the period of validity of the test.
