CONFERENCE: ERAU DAYTONA BEACH 2018
Managing Communication as a Factor in Aviation Safety
The ICAO LPRs – Have we just scratched the surface?
| 9-11 May, 2018 |
| ERAU Daytona Beach – Florida, USA |
ICAEA is pleased to announce our next event, a 2.5 day conference, hosted by Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University at its Daytona Beach Campus in Florida, USA. This event will look at aspects of communication that include and go beyond the ICAO Language Proficiency Requirements (LPRs).
Although the ICAO LPRs have been implemented globally, their incorporation into effective aviation English testing and training programmes remains a challenge for airlines, ANSPs, FTOs and licensing authorities. They also do not address the wider language and communications needs of pilots, ATCOs, trainees and other aviation professions.
This conference will look beyond the ICAO LPRs to:
- explore the role of language and cultural awareness as human factors that impact aviation safety,
- consider the communication needs of other aviation professions, including maintenance staff and cabin crew,
- review best practices and developments in language training and testing in a range of aviation contexts, including flight schools.
Following the success of ICAEA’s previous two practical events, this conference will be extended to 2.5 days, and will include Plenary Presentations, interactive Workshops, Q&A Panels, networking and social opportunities.

WORKSHOP: DUBROVNIK 2017
The ICAO LPRs – 10 years on: Progress or Pain?
An exploration of what has and hasn’t worked since the introduction of the ICAO LPRs
| 24-25 April, 2017 |
| Hotel Neptun – Dubrovnik, Croatia |
ICAEA held an intense 2-day workshop in Dubrovnik, organised in cooperation with Croatia’s ANSP – Croatia Control Ltd. With delegates from over 35 countries, this was one of our most well-attended and thought-provoking recent events.
More than a decade after the ICAO LPRs were announced in 2005, most international pilots and controllers have now been through at least two testing cycles. In this workshop we reviewed how different approaches to LPR testing have affected:
- language training and the effectiveness of teaching and learning,
- regulators’, airlines’ and ANSPs’ perceptions of English language proficiency and its effect on safety,
- individuals’ attitudes towards the use of English in their jobs,
- the effect of the LPRs on air-ground communications.
Our thanks
ICAEA would like to express its sincere thanks to Croatia Control Ltd for their generosity in hosting the event, all the presenters and workshop leaders for opening up a range of stimulating topics, and of course, all the attendees for sharing their ideas, expertise and experience.
