Practice 17/01/2020
This former « In English, please » article will give you 10 tips to improve your English, both general and aeronautical, on a daily basis. It was published in 2017, and a few things have changed since then:

– 8 The UK ATIS phone numbers are still listed on page 32 of the Met Office’s booklet, but at this new address: GetMet.
– 10 Eliot’s Practice Papers are now published once a month, around the 15th, so as to fall halfway between two Info-pilote articles.
