The nice 'Alice in Wonderland' aspect is that here in the UK we speak, straight from the breast, English, mostly (gentle nod to some of the Welsh speakers amongst us). Whereas for almost the whole of EASA-land (again, another gentle nod to our Irish friends), they rather don't speak English, as a first language anyhow.


You might get a shock in some of our inner cities! :|

Bumping this back to the top by a long time lurker.

I am in the process of getting an EASA licence but need to jump through the LPE financial hoop. I know the big schools can help but I am looking for a slightly more independent experience. Does anyone have any contacts who may help?

Looking at the CAA website (https://www.caa.co.uk/general-aviation/ ... oficiency/), these are the ways to be tested for language proficiency level, which I found using Wings Taking Flight:

1. At your radiotelephony test
2. At a flight test
3. Through a language school (approved by the CAA and listed in Standards Document 31)
4. At an approved training organisation (ATO) approved by the CAA for language assessment recommendation - see also form CAA5012. More research would be needed to figure out which ATOs are approved for this purpose.
