Aviation spoken English for pilots - online lessons - Air-English tutor. Aviation English Aviation English and its application

Some people find foreign languages ​​easy, others not so much. But the global trend towards popularizing the English language has been observed for quite some time. The British should be proud that their language is chosen as the main foreign language studied by default.

Despite the fact that the official languages ​​of ICAO include German, French and even Russian and others..., radio phraseology according to ICAO standards when performing international flights must be carried out in English.



Phraseology of radio exchange is usually carried out between the dispatcher and the pilot, sometimes between pilots of different aircraft. Radio communication phraseology is a set of standard words, expressions and commands that should be used when conducting radio communication; colloquial speech should not be used during radio communication, because In conditions of increased noise levels in the cabin and frequent radio interference on the air, the intelligibility of phrases can be very poor.

Using only standard expressions in radio phraseology significantly eliminates misunderstanding of the meaning of commands. In radio communication phraseology, grammar is often omitted to further simplify communication between the controller and the pilot. Standardization in phraseology begins with the aviation alphabet. Having learned it once, you begin to use it always and everywhere when you need to spell something.

ICAO Annex 1 states that all pilots operating international flights must have a knowledge of English at least a Working (fourth) level - this requirement has been in effect since the summer of 2011.

A similar requirement applies to air traffic controllers.

Thus, it turns out that English must be taught in any way. There are many face-to-face courses available for this, as well as textbooks with audio bundles, such as Robertson's Air Speak.

But there are also unique comrades! They not only learn English themselves, but also help their friends master radio phraseology, creating truly masterpieces of didactic materials. In this case, easily accessible means such as pencils, fountain pens and felt-tip pens and one’s own knowledge and skills are used.

After all, you must admit that it is much easier to learn a foreign language using associative illustrations. For example, almost the entire vocabulary regarding aircraft design can be contained in one picture:



If a certain pilot comes home “on eyebrows” every day and this happens constantly (permanently), here is one of the plots that can be depicted in the form of a funny picture with elements of learning a foreign language.

on maintenance of foreign-made aircraft - a program that allows you to quickly prepare for a type retraining course, master the skills of reading and understanding documentation on the maintenance and operation of foreign-made aircraft. Aviation technical documentation has its own characteristics of providing information, knowledge of which significantly simplifies and speeds up the process of learning aviation technical English. It is no secret that just using dictionaries of aviation technical terminology is not at all enough to operate foreign aircraft without accidents; strong practical knowledge of the English language is required.

The air conditioning system is fully automatic.

It provides continuous air renewal and maintains a constant, selected temperature in the following three zones: COCPIT, FWD CABIN, AFT CABIN. These three zones are independently controlled.

Air is supplied by the pneumatic system, via:

Two pack flow controls valves, Two packs, The mixing unit, which mixes the air that comes from the cabin and the packs.

Air is then distributed to the cockpit and the cabin.

Temperature regulation is optimized via the hot air pressure regulating valve, and the trim air valves that add hot air, tapped upstream of the packs, to the mixing unit.

In an emergency, a ram air inlet can provide ambient air the mixing unit.

Temperature regulation is controlled by two Air Conditioning System Controllers, Flight deck and cabin temperature can be selected from the cockpit"s AIR COND panel.

A control panel is provided on the Forward Attendant Panel. During cruise, the cabin crew can modify each cabin zone temperature that is selected from the cockpit, with a limited authority of ± 2.5 f. (±4.5ff)

Low-pressure air is supplied to the mixing unit by a ground connection.

The electrical power system consists of a three-phase 115/200 V 400 Hz constant-frequency AC system and a28 V DC system.

Electrical transients are acceptable for equipment.

Commercial supply has secondary priority.

In normal configuration, the electrical power system provides AC power.

A part of this AC power is converted into DC power for certain applications.

Each generator can provide AC power to all electrical bus bars.

The electrical power system is constituted of 2 engine generators and 1 APU generator.

In the event that normal AC power is not available, an emergency generator can provide AC power.

In the event that all AC power is not available, the electrical power system can invert DC power from the batteries into AC power.

ENGINE-DRIVEN GENERATORS

Two three-phase AC generators (GEN 1, GEN 2), one driven by each main engine through an integrated drive, supply aircraft electrical power. Each generator can supply up to 90 KVA of power at 115 and 200 V and 400 Hz.

Two Generators Control Units (GCU) control the output of their respective generator. The main functions of each GCU are:

Control the frequency and voltage of the generator output. Protect the network by controlling the associated generator line contactor (GLC).

APU GENERATOR AND EXTERNAL POWER

A third generator (APU GEN), driven directly by the APU and producing the same output as each main engine generators at any time.

A ground power connector near nosewheel allows ground power to be supplied to all busbars.

A Ground and Auxiliary Power Unit (GAPCU):

Regulates, via the APU Electronic Control Box, the frequency and voltage of APU generator when the No Break Power Transfer (NBPT) is required Protects the network by controlling the external power contactor and the APU Generator Line Contactor.

EMERGENCY GENERATOR

The blue hydraulic circuit drives an emergency generator that automatically supplies emergency AC power to the aircraft electrical system, if all main generators fail. This generator supplies 5 KVA of three-phase 115 and 200 V 400 Hz power.

A generator Control Unit (GCU):

-Keeps the emergency generator at a constant speed, Controls the generator"s output voltage, Protects the network by the controlling the emergency generator line contactor, and Controls the generator start-up.

A static inverter transforms DC power from Battery 1 into one KVA of single-phase 115 V 400 Hz AC power, which is then supplied to part of the Ac essential bus. When the aircraft speed is above 50kt, the inverter is automatically activated, if nothing but the batteries are supplying electrical power to the aircraft, regardless of the BAT 1 and BAT 2 pushbutton position.

When the aircraft speed is below 50 kt, the inverter is activated, if nothing but the batteries are supplying electrical power to the aircraft, and the BAT 1 and BAT 2 pushbuttons are both on at auto.

TRANSFORMER RECTIFIERS (TRS)

Two main transformer rectifiers, TR 1 and TR 2, supply the aircraft's system, with up to 200 F of DC current.

A third (identical) transformer rectifier, the ESS TR, can power the essential DC circuit from the emergency generator, if the engine and APU generators all fail, or if TR 1 or TR 2 fails.

Each TR controls its contactor by internal logic.

Two main batteries, each with a normal capacity of 23 Ah, are permanently connected to the two hot buses.

Each battery has an associated Battery Charge Limiter (BCL).

The BCL monitors battery charging and controls its battery contactor.

Aircraft Fire Protection Systems are comprised of;

Fire and overheat detection and extinguishing systems for the:

Engines; APU

Smoke detection and extinguishing system for the:

Cargo compartments; Lavatories

Smoke detection for the:

Avionic bay

Portable fire extinguishers for the:

Flight compartment; Passengers cabin

The engines and APU each have a fire and overheat detection system consisting of:

Two identical fire detection loops (A and B) mounted in parellel A fire detection Unit (FDU).

The fire detection loops of:

Three or four sensing elements for each engine, in the pylon nacelle, in the engine core and in the engine fan section One sensing element in the APU compartment.

When a sensing element is subject to heat, it sends a signal to the fire detection unit.

As soon as loops A and B detect temperature at a present level, they trigger the fire warning system.

A fault in one loop (break or loss of electrical supply) does not affect the warning system.

The unaffected loop still protects the aircraft.

If the system detects an APU fire while the aircraft is on the ground, it shuts down the APU automatically and discharges extinguishing agent.

Each engine has two extinguisher bottles equipped with operated squibs to discharge their contents. Each squib has a dual electric supply. The flight crew controls the discharge from ENG FIRE panel in the cockpit.

The APU has one fire extinguisher bottle that has two electrically operated squibs to discharge its agent. The flight crew controls the discharge from the APU FIRE panel in the cockpit. This bottle also discharges automatically if there is an APU fire when the aircraft is on the ground.

The landing gear consists of:

Two main gear retract inboard, A nose gear that retracts forward.

Doors enclose the landing gear bays. Gear and doors are electrically controlled and hydraulically operated.

The doors, which are fitted to the landing gear struts, are operated mechanically by the gear and close at the end of gear retraction.

All gear doors open while the gear is retracting or extending.

Two Landing Gear Control and Interface Units (LGCIUs) control the extension and retraction of the gear and operation of the doors. They also supply information about the landing gear to ECAM for display, and send signals indicating whether the aircraft is in flight or on the ground to other aircraft systems. A hand crank on the center pedestal allows the flight crew to extend the landing gear if the aircraft loses hydraulic systems or electrical power.

NORMAL OPERATION

The flight crew normally operates the landing gear by means of the lever on the center instrument panel.

The LGCIUs control the sequencing of gear and doors electrically. On LGCIU controls one complete gear cycle, then switches over automatically to the other LGCIU at the completion of the retraction cycle. It also switches over in case of failure.

The green hydraulic system actuates all gear and doors. When the aircraft is flying faster than 260 kt, a safety valve automatically cuts off hydraulic supply to the landing gear system. Below 260 kt, the hydraulic supply remains cut off as long as the landing gear lever is up.

EMERGENCY EXTENSION

If the normal system fails to extend the gear hydraulically, the flight crew can use a crank to extend it mechanically.

When a crew member turns the crank, it:

Isolates the landing gear hydraulics from the green hydraulic system. Unlocks the landing gear doors and the main and nose main gear. Allows gravity to drop the gear into the extended position. Locking springs help the crew to crank the main gear into the locked condition, and aerodynamic forces assist in the locking of the nose gear.
