EXAMINER:
Welcome to the Santos Dumont English Assessment. Please tell me your full name. May I see your pilot’s license and ID? Do you have any electronic devices with you? OK let's start. Part One: “Aviation Topics”, in this part, you will answer some questions related to aviation:
EXAMINER:
What are the tasks performed by a pilot during cruise flight?
PILOT:
During cruise flight, a pilot mainly monitors the aircraft's systems, checking fuel levels, watching for weather changes, and staying in touch with air traffic control the whole time. It's about keeping everything running smoothly and being ready for any possible changes.
EXAMINER (if necessary):
Do you have specific protocols to follow at different phases of the flight?
PILOT:
Yes, pilots do follow specific protocols at different phases of the flight. For example, during takeoff and landing, there are stricter checks and communication needs. In cruise flight, it's more about monitoring and adjusting the flight as needed. Each phase has its own set of rules and checklists to follow.
EXAMINER:
How can radar traffic separation and TCAS devices reduce chances of mid air collisions?
PILOT:
Radar separation and TCAS devices are integrated systems to avoid mid air collisions between all aircraft. Radar separation is managed by air traffic control, keeping a safe distance between aircraft, whereas TCAS is an onboard system that warns pilots of nearby planes and provides alerts, advisories and maneuvers for conflict resolution with evasive actions if needed. Yeah that’s about it: Together, they greatly reduce the risk of mid-air collisions by keeping aircraft safely separated.
EXAMINER (if necessary):
If necessary: Do you believe onboard systems such as the TCAS may increase situational awareness?
PILOT:
Absolutely. Systems like TCAS really increase situational awareness by alerting pilots about nearby aircraft, even before they become a threat, I should add. This early warning is valuable information for pilots and provides more situational awareness ultimately helping all pilots to maintain safe distance from each other.
EXAMINER:
Do you believe CRM training could become obsolete in the future due to the increase of automation
PILOT:
CRM, or Crew Resource Management, has actually become more important with the increase in automation, in my opinion, It ensures that human oversight, communication, and teamwork are effectively used to manage the flight, especially when technology might not cover every situation. So, the way I see it, CRM remains crucial in the cockpit.
