As English is the lingua franca of aviation, there is a pressing need for the English language skills used in routine and non-routine radiotelephony to be at a safe, international standard.

In non-routine or emergency situations where standard radio phraseology does not suffice, the ability to communicate competently in a common language is paramount to safety.
