Effective radio communication between ATC and pilots has long been
recognized as an important element of aviation safety. In
recognition of the role miscommunications play in aviation
incidents and accidents, the International Civil Aviation
Organization (ICAO) recently introduced language proficiency
requirements for all flight personnel in all ICAO member states.
Using an effective and economical experimental paradigm, the
research described here teases apart the complex combination of
factors (e.g. speech rate, controller message length, English
language proficiency, cognitive workload) believed to contribute to
miscommunications between controllers and pilots. Misunderstandings
in ATC Communication offers an in-depth report of a seminal study
in aviation communication, which until now has only been available
in the form of an unpublished dissertation. In addition, it offers
a recent extension of that work, the authors' reflections on the
research process, and a thorough review of the aviation
communication literature. Graduate students and researchers who
wish to address real-world problems will appreciate the simple
elegance of the experimental paradigm that has been used to address
a wide range of theoretical and applied interdisciplinary research
questions. The book will appeal to scholars in the fields of human
factors, linguistics, cognitive psychology, applied linguistics and
second-language education and assessment. It is also of direct
relevance to government and industry decision-makers and operators
as they strive to implement the ICAO requirements, and to improve
aviation safety.
