Communication errors or breakdowns between pilots and air traffic controllers (ATC) have been reported to be on the list of the factors commonly contributing towards aircraft accidents or serious incidents. In fact, incorrect or incomplete pilot / controller communications cause approximately 80 % of all aviation incidents or accidents. The most common misunderstandings between each other appear due to incorrect usage of standard phraseology, poor language skills or failures of the read-back/hear-back process. AviationCV.com experts point out that pilots and controllers are involved in the air traffic management system equally. Achieving effective radio communications depends on many factors that should not be considered in isolation.
