Aviation English Language Proficiency Test preparation course and exam for Student Air Traffic Controller (ATC) has been published by CaptainPilot.
It has been meticulously researched and developed according to ICAO LPR standards by CaptainPilot, who has extensive academic and practical experience in ICAO LPR language exams over many years. A number of key criteria have been identified as critical elements in test design that affect the overall effectiveness of an ICAO LPR test. . Each criterion plays an important role in how well a language proficiency test meets the ICAO LPR objectives and how well the test performs overall in terms of validity, reliability and practicality. These criteria are key issues that shape the overall effectiveness and suitability of a test system for the evaluation of air traffic controllers and pilots for ICAO LPR licensing purposes. The tests prepared by CaptainPilot were created taking into account the criteria set by ICAEA.
CaptainPilot tests fully meet ICAO standards and recommended practices. The CaptainPilot test for pilots and air traffic controllers complies with ICAO Doc 9835.
CaptainPilot is a good language test that meets all ICAO Language Proficiency Requirements.
The CaptainPilot Proficiency Test consists of two parts called proficiency test 1 and proficiency test 2.
• Proficiency test 1 is the listening comprehension part of the test.
• Proficiency test 2 consists of questions to simulate the verbal interaction part of the test. There are special versions of proficiency test 2 designed for tower, approach, en-route and apron Air Traffic Controllers and ATP licensed Pilots. Proficiency test 2 reflects the range of communication tasks undertaken in the operating room and cockpit, respectively.
Proficiency Test 1 ATC tests listening comprehension, i.e. the understanding of communications between pilots and controllers. Additionally, the test includes scenarios with controller - controller communications. The scenarios cover both routine and non-routine situations, which are based on authentic material. They range from short standard pilot/controller transmissions to longer communications in which the controller deals with non-routine or unexpected situations.This part of the proficiency test 1 lasts approximately 35 minutes.
Tips for CaptainPilot ATC Proficiency test takers
• Make sure that you become familiar with the instructions for each part 1 and the type of answer you are expected to give.
• This is a listening test - so listen carefully. Do not assume that the pilot/controller will do something because ‘that’s the obvious thing to do’.
• The questions are deliberately spaced to give you time to type the response before you hear the relevant piece of information for the next question.
• Do not listen to the complete transmission before you start to answer the questions - this is not a memory test. Type the answer as you hear the required information which is presented in a logical sequence.
