Демоверсия теста TELLCAP® для диспетчеров

SECTION 1. INTRODUCTION – 3 minutes

Good morning (afternoon)! My name is (Examiner’s name). Can you tell me your name? And your code?

Can I also see your passport, please? Thank you.

This test aims to assess your English language proficiency in line with ICAO requirements.

The test is in three sections and will take approximately 30 minutes.

First, I’d like to get to know about you.

  1. Where did you get your ATC training?

  2. Could you please tell me about your experience as an air traffic controller?

  3. Would you recommend younger people to consider a career as a controller?

SECTION 2: RTF ROLE-PLAY – 10-12 minutes

Now, you will listen to two audio recordings, describing specific in-flight situations. Each recording will be played once.

You may take notes while you listen.

After listening, we will role-play pilot-controller exchanges based on the situation from the recording.

Note that some transmissions during the role-play may be unreadable. Be prepared to ask for clarification if needed.

Do you have any questions before we start?
