Part II – INTERACTING AS A PILOT

 

In this part, you will interact with the Air Traffic Control in five different situations. You may ask the controller to say again once. After listening to the controller, you should interact as the pilot. All

Part III – UNEXPECTED SITUATIONS

​

In this part of the test, you will listen to three different communications between pilots and air traffic controllers. The recordings will be played twice. There is a five-second pause before the recording is repeated. After listening to the recording, you should tell me everything that the pilot and the controller said. I will then ask you a question.
 

At the end of Part three, I will ask you to compare the three situations, so please take notes. All information is important. Do you have any questions?
 

Situation 1)
Pilot: PAN PAN PAN PAN PAN PAN. New York Approach. Cactus 341. We lost engine number 1. We request a 20-minute dumping fuel and immediate return to JFK Airport.


ATC: Cactus 341. Cleared for dumping fuel at restricted area 5002. Call back to return to JFK Airport and expect vectors for approach, runway 13 Left.
 

Tell me everything you heard, please.
 

In your opinion, what are the outcomes of an overweight landing?
 

Situation 2)
Pilot: PAN PAN PAN PAN PAN PAN. Dubai Approach. Turkish 4546. We lost all electrical system. We have 25 minutes of battery left. We request vectors for immediate approach.


ATC: Turkish 4546. Roger. Turn right. Heading 120. Expect vectors for runway 12 Right. You are number 1 for landing.

 

Tell me everything you heard, please.
 

From your point of view, what are the outcomes of an electrical total loss?
 

Situation 3)
ATC: N778UC. Miami Approach. We lost radar contact. Fly to position DOLPHIN. Confirm if you are under visual meteorological conditions.


Pilot: Miami Approach. Roger. We are under visual meteorological conditions to Miami Airport. We request traffic information and altimeter setting.


Tell me everything you heard, please.
 

What are the dangers of losing radar contact inside a terminal?
 

Now, after listening to these three situations:
 

How would you compare them, which one do you think is the most difficult to deal with and why?
 

You may want to compare them in terms of severity, possible solutions or ways of prevention.
 

Thank you! This is the end of part three. Let’s now move on to the last part of the test, part four.

​

Part IV - PICTURE DESCRIPTION AND  DISCUSSION

​

In this part of the test, you will tell me what you can see in this picture and what you think is happening in it. After that, I will ask you some questions. Look at the picture carefully. You may take a few moments to think before you start talking.
 

Are the instructions clear?

​

1) Please describe this picture to me.


2) What do you think happened before this picture was taken?


3) Now imagine that this picture has just been taken: What do you think will happen next?


4) From your point of view, what factors can cause a runway incursion?


5) In your opinion, how can a runway incursion be avoided?


6) Now, I am going to read a statement to you and then you will have to tell me to what extent
you agree or disagree with it: “A runway incursion can happen if a taxiway is too similar to a
runway.”


Ok, thank you! So this is the end of the test.
