Like many things in aviation, communication is a shared responsibility.
If communication breaks down, no one person is 100% responsible. It’s a shared responsibility. It may be 50% / 50%, it may
be 80% / 20% or 20% / 80% … but it’s shared.
Non native English speakers: continue to improve your aviation English skills. Remember, ICAO Level 4 is the minimum level
required. Where it’s practical, aim for higher.
Native English speakers: realize that you too have a critical role to play in safe RTF. Improve your empathy and
communication skills – stick to standard phraseology, speak slowly and clearly, pause, learn how to resolve
misunderstandings.
Safety depends on all of us. We all depend on each other.
