Usage of phrasal verbs is pretty common. Here it is one of them.- to PASS OUT (to lose consciousness) Don't confuse it with "PASS AWAY"( to die) e.g. People passed out due to the sweltering heat. Passengers have some seconds to put on oxygen masks not to pass out in a depressurized plane. The plane crash-landed and all passengers and the crew passed away.

SELCAL question: What are the main requirements for pilots? There are a lot of stringent requiremnts that a person has to meet to be a pilot. First of all,you need to have an appropriate education,to be a holder of PPL,CPL,ATPL. The next requirement is a valid Class 1 Medical Certificate. All pilots are required to have this certificate throughout their entire flying careers. Aviation English Proficiency is also a must. Not less than operational 4th level of ICAO is required from all pilots. To become a pilot you'll need a specific set of skills and attributes. These include: -a passion for aviation -technical aptitude -spatial awareness -aptitude for numbers and data analysis the ability to remain calm under pressure -problem-solving ability -attention to detail -the ability to work well in a team -excellent communication skills confidence -decisiveness and the ability to think on your feet.

In this video you can hear the word "tarmac". But the question arises "What is tarmac?RWY?TWY?Apron? News media and a few government sources often use the term “tarmac.” You can see it used to describe runways, taxiways, aprons, parking lots, and sidewalks; and it’s actually incorrect. Aviation professionals cringe when we hear the word. The Problem: There is no official definition for “tarmac” in aviation. One news report’s use of the word may be completely different from another. It makes sense to use terminology that precisely describes where the story takes place: Apron, Taxiway, and Runway. Tarmac (short for tarmacadam) is a road surface material. Calling a taxiway “the tarmac” is like calling it “the asphalt” or “the reinforced concrete.” It makes absolutely no sense and causes confusion.

What is "tarmac"?

Everybody has a cherished dream, a life-long ambition. But not everybody is ready to give eye-teeth for it(готов все отдать). Of course there are obstacles towards achieving your goal and sometimes it seems that you hit a dead-end(зайти в тупик) but it is necessary to work towards your dream(упорно работать над) and it will be fulfilled.(воплотиться в жизнь). But watch the prepositions with DREAM to dream OF- мечтать о to dream ABOUT-видеть во сне So, those who dream of becoming pilots and those who cherish a dream to become an ATC- don't give up.

There is the number of uncountable words in English which are NEVER USED IN PLURAL FORM. The most common ones which can be encountered in aviation context are equipment damage information advice knowledge education fuel ice luggage smoke news travel understanding Some examples: There IS a lot of emergency EQUIPMENT on board of a plane. The aircraft sustained a lot of structural DAMAGE. We enhance our KNOWLEDGE and improve our skills on simulator. This NEWS IS not correct.

I have noticed that some of my students confuse to CAUSE, to be CAUASED BY Let's see into it. What can cause decompression? What can decompression cause? What can decompression be caused by? cause=lead to can be caused by= can be reason for smth Mind the word order! What can cause decompression?=What can lead to decompression? What can decompression cause?=What can decompression lead to?

Landing gear strut may be crippled and stuck after an impact with a big animal. Landing gear strut is one of the most robust constructions of a plane which can resist bird strike.

Why do aircraft tires have straight lines for treads? Why don't they have tread patterns as you see on a car tire? So they can land on wet or snowy runways. The tread allows the tire to make contact with the runway surface without hydroplaning so that the brakes on the landing gear can slow the plane down while maintaining control. Cars are driven by their wheels and wheels should be rotated periodically so the tread pattern is optimized for this.

To learn Aviation English or not nowadays? That is the question! Even taking into account the current situation in the world- of course TO LEARN! And of course to maintain and to consolidate it. Some people are absorbed with the issues of more current interest nowadays. BUT! Keep doing it. There are plenty of possibilities nowadays. It is much easier to lose the skills than to gain them. Some time will pass and you will definitely apply for a job in some airline or your ICAO English level will have to be reassessed for further work. Bear it up!

If aircraft tire fails during takeoff, this is dangerous in several different ways: Flying tire fragments can inflict damage to other parts of the aircraft, as well as,other nearby aircraft or ground personnel. Wheels with blown tires are useless for braking.Thus they greatly increase the chance of a runway overrun. It will become necessary to reject the takeoff. A tire failure can greatly degrade directional control, especially on small aircraft. A failed tire dragging on the runway can easily heat up enough to ignite and burn, dooming the aircraft if the crew then retract the landing gear without knowing that the landing gear is on fire.

(singular): hostility (plural): hostilities Crew reported about hostilities on the board and requested police upon arrival. In terms of safety all the flights were canceled over the areas with hostilities.

If something or someone mitigates a risk, they make the effects of a loss or risk less unpleasant, harmful, or serious. E.g. Airport authorities try to MITIGATE THE RISK of bird strikes with the use of bird scaring techniques such as broadcasting of bird distress signals or firing of pyrotechnic bird scaring cartridges.

If an aircraft performs crash landing, most of passengers get injuries incompatible with life.

Air travel is considered by many to be safer than going by a car or a train, but that doesn’t mean airline passengers don’t sustain injuries. For example,according to FAA 58 people sustain injuries (including brain concussion) due to turbulence every year. Other people are injured from improperly-stowed baggage falling from overhead bins. 

When an Airbus loses all power (total engine failure), RAT(Ram Air Turbine) COMES INTO PLAY and it provides minimum necessary emergency hydraulic or electrical power.

I can't stress it enough for my students - enlarge your vocabulary and make use of these words in the speech. Hail can inflict significant damage to the fuselage of a plane. and vice versa Fuselage of a plane can sustain significant damage.

As soon as the flight crew detects smoke in the cabin, they will go into QRH Smoke/Fire check-list.
