Course syllabus
Lucky for us, language acquisition is not a purely intellectual endeavor. Understanding and producing language successfully is the combined result of necessity, passion, repetition, and—yes—fun! That is why this short course incorporates various multimedia, simulations and other activities designed to enhance various components of Aviation English, as well as your ICAO test-taking skills. Included are two hours devoted to flights to/from controlled/uncontrolled airports, and one hour devoted to an entire ICAO exam simulation at the end.
But the syllabus below, derived from Philip Shawcross’ Flightpath, is merely a suggestion. Every student has his or her unique needs and talents. Therefore, every course will be re-designed with those needs and talents in mind. ICAO.
