The ultimate aim of most pre-operational learners is to achieve operational level (ICAO Level 4) through the aviation topics presented in course that motivate them to speak, so the key words and phrases necessary for extended speaking are given in fresh and stimulating contexts with numerous opportunites for communicative, personalised speaking practice.

The course consists of Student's Book, Teacher's Book, CD-ROM and DVD-ROM.

The Student's Book provides approximately 150 hours of teaching material for classroom activities, that can be extended with the photocopiable resources in the Teacher's Book. The Student's Book contains the material in the form of tasks for reading, listening, video activities providing and encouraging language skills development and linguistic competence they need to be able to communicate successfully on job-related topics.

The Student's Book provides 10 thematically linked units, each with 2-5 lessons. Each lesson takes approximately 90 minutes depending on a group level competence. A teacher's creative initiative is highly appreciated. The CD-ROM contains all listening material for the Student's Book, including drill recordings, real radio exchange recordings. The DVD contains material for picture description activities and videos. The Teacher's Book includes Teaching Notes for 10 units, teaching tips for each lesson: listening scripts, answers for all the activities in the Student's Book and Photocopiable Materials.

We believe that consolidated efforts of our team can help learners to expand their their knowledge of functional language, i.e. ablity to speak on job-related topics and improve their language competence in terms of ICAO testing system requirements. Krasnoyarsk team would like to thank the people who have contributed to making the course. In particular we would like to thank our co-authors: Marrianna Glagoleva, Elena Isaeva, Evgeniya Kocherova, Alla Nikolaenko for their support and ideas.

1. Match the words that go together to make compound words and word combinations. 2. Look through the text quickly and think of the title.

Hand belt Call baggage Disabled button Passenger compartment Crew crew Cabin exit Emergency instructions Boarding matter Seat member Safety pass Reading passenger

This is a passenger airliner. There are passenger cabins or compartments for passengers in it, where the cabin crew work.	The cabin crew members are officially called cabin or flight attendants. They have to perform a wide variety of duties, including those concerning the safety of passengers in all emergencies. There is a senior member of the cabin crew who is responsible to the captain.

Flight attendants are responsible to the senior member of the cabin crew. Before each flight the senior flight attendant is given information about known invalids among the passengers, names of passengers requiring special attention and unaccompanied children. As the passengers come aboard, the cabin crew members greet them, check their tickets or boarding passes if required, direct them to their seats, assist them with their coats and hand luggage, and may have to help them in fastening their seat belts. During the flight cabin crew members demonstrate the use of seat lights and call buttons; give safety instructions, as required; advise passengers on how to overcome slight discomforts such as earache and many others.

They also answer questions about the flight and weather; distribute reading matter, pillows and blankets; help care for small children, babies and disabled passengers; serve meals and refreshments; keep the cabin and washrooms neat. The number of cabin attendants (CAs) is different according to the number of passengers, the aircraft type and the number of emergency exits. The cabin personnel are the airline's public relations officers, attending to passengers' needs and, by means of friendly and efficient service, creating a favourable impression of the airline.

3. Read the text carefully and answer the following questions: ✈ Where does the cabin crew work? ✈ What is the main responsibility of a flight attendant? ✈ Who is the senior member of the cabin crew responsible to? ✈ Who are the flight attendants responsible to during the flight? ✈ What information is the senior flight attendant given before flight? ✈ What are the duties of flight attendants before flight? ✈ What are the flight attendants responsible for during the flight?

4. Speak on your best / worst flight according to the plan given above:

1. Look at the people in the pictures and say what their jobs are.

Air traffic control facilities A place where flight crew of an aircraft sit while flying Cockpit A written record of a flight, flying hours, maintenance checks for an aircraft, engine, etc. Flight deck A written statement that gives details of the flight a pilot intends to make Flight plan Air Traffic Controllers Service Fuel consumption An aircraft and equipment check before each flight Log (log book) Information about the ability of aircraft systems to function as required Performance data The amount of petrol used up in a given time Preflight check The forward area in an aircraft from where the aircraft is controlled

2. Match the words and phrases with their definitions.

ñ How many flight crew members can be on board?

✈ Captain’s duties

✈ Co-pilot’s duties

✈ Navigator’s duties

✈ Radio-operator’s duties

✈ Flight engineer’s duties

THE FLIGHT CREW The crew of any passenger aircraft are a pilot (co-pilot) and the captain. They are on the flight deck in flight. Pilot's duties include much more than getting on the plane and flying the airplane. Pilots must check weather conditions and plan a safe route. The pilot then files the flight plan with air traffic control. They must thoroughly study the weather data and flight plan before push back from the gate. During preflight check the pilot must completely check the aircraft to ensure that all	systems are operating properly and that all equipment is functioning properly. During the flight, pilots must monitor its progress and maintain communications with air traffic control facilities on the ground. After the flight, the pilot completes the necessary paperwork for the flight and closes out the flight documents. The co-pilot is an executive officer. He must be familiar with all the captain’s duties. He must be extremely proficient in engine operation, and know what to do to keep the airplane flying smoothly. He must have a thorough knowledge of cruising control data, and know how to apply them at a proper time. He is also an engineering officer aboard, and maintains a complete log of performance data.	He must be proficient in the operation of all radio equipment located in the pilot's compartment. On some airliners there is a navigator, a radio-operator and a flight-engineer, they are also crew members. The navigator's job is to direct flight from departure to destination and back. He must know the exact position of the airplane at all times. A pilot and a navigator study the weather they might encounter and weather conditions at the alternate airfields and the captain decides what action is to be taken. If there is doubt about the position of the airplane, a pilot and a navigator should analyze the situation and decide the best action to take.
A qualified flight engineer must know his airplane, its engines and equipment thoroughly. He must work closely with the co-pilot, checking engine operation, fuel consumption and the operation of all equipment. He should have general knowledge of radio equipment, and be able to assist in tuning transmitters and receivers.	There is a lot of radio equipment in today's aircraft. There is one man in particular who knows all about this equipment - radio operator.	He has to provide communication with air traffic control. It is very difficult to overestimate the importance of each crew member on board as they provide safe flights and passengers’ lives depend on them.
