Hello,

Because the language in flight radio is English.

It may seem superfluous at Condor, Lufthansa, Swiss, etc., as both sides can speak very probably German, but it is now a rule and a rule that you stay in the air radio and also in the Cocpit in the Englisheb.

Imagine a United 787 coming from New York to Frankfurt, then the pilots could not talk to the pilots because the pilots are very likely not powerful to the German language.

Umd you as a pilot, for example, would not be able to spark in China.

That’s why it has been settled on an international language decades ago, and everything else ends in chaos. There are also all names in aviation in English. You will not find a cocpit that is written in German.

It is already hard enough when a US air traffic controller speaks with a French pilot, as both often speak no accent-free English. Americans are particularly endangered because they reduce a lot or swallow sounds.

There are few exceptions in which the flight radio is spoken in the local language, which are usually the most regional flight movements of sailplanes, etc.

Most of it is correct, small comment:

German speaking radio is allowed in Germany even at international airports. Most hobby and private pilots are allowed to spark German only with the BZF-II. All German solders therefore dominate German and English radio.

English is the recognized international world language.

It is therefore used in national air traffic as well as in international air travel.

One must not forget: even if a Lufthansa plane flies from Berlin to Stuttgart, it still communicates on flight radio frequencies which British Airways also uses on the flight from London to Stuttgart. For each tower has only one radio channel for the arrival and departure traffic. That’s why everyone has to listen to everything.

Air traffic is usually international. It is clear that not every pilot can learn x languages and even if one would try, life-threatening communication problems would be pre-programmed. So there must be a common language. A single foreign language so good to learn that there is no misunderstandings, every pilot gets there.

And as an international language you have just agreed in English. Because this is by chance also the language that is most used internationally and that most educated people are talking halfway smoothly from school anyway.

They’re in Germany!?

On the route from Stuttgart to Funchal they are no longer in Germany at the latest 15 min after the start. Then first about France, then about Spain…

Hello,

because English as world language no. 1 is the language of technology, science, medicine, politics and diplomacy, economy, conference and negotiation, and also in aviation, air traffic and radio.

Do you think the sparks in every country have a different language?

And do you think there are only German pilots? Do you think the lotses ask for jo what do you speak German at the radio?

The radio language agreed worldwide in international air traffic is English; the English language is also standard for the German air traffic control.

Well, that is actually possible. If you have enough time to explain to the passenger the most important parameters and things in the cockpit, and if the aircraft is modern, then it is very possible. It does not have to be butter landing ^

True I can also drive in Formula 1 Simulator Formula 1 which, however, would drive in reality in the first curve against the wall…

It won’t happen. No person who has never sat in a cockpit and has flew an airplane will be able to land a 50 tons heavy passenger aircraft more or less successful. And if he can, he has flew a plane and knows he has to speak English.
