Please note: the aircraft seen in the video is not the exact aircraft which can be heard in the audio. I didn’t have video of the aircraft which was involved in this incident, so I just used video of another aircraft instead.
When we study languages in college, a lot of them switch words for past/present/future tenses/questions. We don't have any special tense for questions in English, so we just ask them in proper tense. I.E "have you brought/are you bringing?" Languages that do have a special tense for questions can sometimes change the entire sentence structure or entire words rather than small bits at the end. Tenses involving questions are called "interrogative" in nearly all the textbooks that translate a language into english. He most likely was hoping the dude would at least remember the word interrogative from studying. If he recognized it from textbooks he should have been able to understand was asking a question from there. Unfortunately it seemed like he was non-proficient in both listening AND understanding.
@@PubstarHero these things always makes me laugh hysterically, I think it's something about it being 100% innocent, but them just NOT speaking the same language as you! Have had similar things happening with many foreigners, but honestly always struggle the most with people from Asia, as their languages are so different. Even if a dude switches to German or Spanish, I can often follow, among the 4 - 6 languages I do speak to varying degrees.
even if English is a 2nd language to many countries, in Aviation it is mandatory to speak and understand English. why is English the spoken language in Aviation because most of the Aviation was done by English Countries and ICAO voted making it official.
Aviation English but some pilots n controllers using common language in certain cases . But this pilot seems to have a hearing n a language problem lol 😂
Sadly not, there was a near miss in Costa Rica this year with the controller and pilots speaking Spanish and it almost caused an incident with an American crew that was told they were clear while another flight was landing in the run way. I think Mentor Pilot covered it.
"Who is going first", do you expect everyone to be as brutal as possible and then you get 20 pilots to yell "ME !" back at ATC ? I would also answer that with 'Uh...' When on the ground, it is not the pilot of any plane that is in control of traffic on the airport, it is the TOWER.
@Jila_Tana there is clearly more context behind that radio call. The tower was addressing that single plane on that call. Tower was clearly in control there. Not sure how you saw it. Watch it again maybe until it makes sense 🤷♂️
True, but this controller's techniques don't seem to work very well. Maybe if he just said, "I need a yes or a no to my question, please!" It might be more effective ultimately.
@@gailhitson7340 maybe, but if he can't understand a question, or differentiate from a command, how can you be sure their yes / no mean anything? At that point it seems the pilot is off, and just picking out "gate" "ramp" "hold" etc, just responding to single words, I doubt they'd answer a question tbh
Right? I wouldn't even call the first guy angry. He's not getting an answer to his question. Anyone would be frustrated in that situation, especially in a congested airport.
@@TruBluLew23Facts, you don’t have time to wait on someone who can’t answer a question while actively taxiing across active runways. Air China captain needs to attend some sort of classes or pass it off to the co pilot if he speaks better English
I mean not that scary. English is required for international pilots and all ATC and miscommunications can happen just like in any job, especially over a staticy radio, most of the time pilots and ATC both will repeat themselves or ask each other to repeat to be extra clear.
I enjoyed this one. Listening now seems entertaining, but it must've been stressful as it was happening in real time. I'm not sure if I'd want to be a passenger in those moments.
I’m sure they understood better once ATC clarified that this was an interrogative. Lol. Can’t blame ATC for getting frustrated with the responses he was getting.
Pilot here. It’s all funny and all, but the controllers attitude isn’t helping the case. The first guy just needed to be told “hold your position” until they know that the gate is good to go and the other guy with the “uhhh” response was confused as to what to say bc it’s not his job to determine who goes first. That’s the controllers job.
I agree. You're dealing with English as second language. Needs clear commands, like when he finally said hold your position. That should be the first thing said. Second thing to say is, wait for clearance. KISS. Also, some commenters said controller knew air china was not cleared, in which case this was a rhetorical question. Ie, have you been cleared? No. Then why are you moving? No place for this kind of complex colloquial language. Controllers should use simple commands at all times, like hold, wait, advise etc. Just common sense.
Except it's really not that funny. I'm not a pilot, but it was clear to me that the first person was not expecting to be asked a question. And of course he wouldn't have. I've been binging these ATC conversations for weeks and the thing that is clear to me is that controllers don't ask questions unless there is an emergency. I think this eas mostly done out of ignorance by someone who doesn't speak more than one language, but there should be a special place in hell for people who try to deal with a person who doesn't understand their language by using passive voice, conditional verb tenses, and also a bunch of other remarks about how annoyed they are that the other person will have to try to understand as well because they mistakenly think that those complaints are actually relevant to the conversation. Oh. And also that thing where people really seem to think that just saying things louder will make the other person understand English. Such an unfortunate situation. Edit: As an English speaking non-pilot my answer to this guy would have been way worse: "You're asking *me* if I've been cleared?" The who goes first was even more ridiculous.
The pilot didn't help, and the controller is doing a terrible job with direct statements. Correct me if I'm wrong, isn't the controllers job to clear the plane?
There are multiple ATC controllers. That particular controller wanted to know if other controllers or ramp people whatever cleared Air China. If yes, go ahead into ramp. If no, hold position. He needed to know yes or no.
@@dalegreer3095 depends which one you want back. You want a yes back? Add a yes. Want no? Add a no. Pretty easy. Doesn't help for shaite in this situation though, given there's clear and obvious confusion / miscommunication, I wouldn't ask questions, I would just hold till I could give a clear command. Problem wasn't necessarily his English. Problem was he was only receiving commands, when the ATC was _NOT_ giving out commands!
@@dalegreer3095 you say "yes or no?". In Chinese sentences generally do not change when a question is asked, the only way you know it is a question is if they include a question marker at the end of the sentence. One version of that is "shi bushi" which a literal translation is "yes no" meaning you want a yes or no response to the question. So to the Chinese person without very good English skills, "Have they cleared you into the ramp?" is functionally equivalent to "They have cleared you into the ramp." By including "yes or no" at the end they will understand the first sentence is a question.
@@evancombs5159 You are required to have very good English skills to be a pilot that fly international. No matter your nationality or mother tongue. If you do not understand a question phrased 3 different ways, and after having told "it's a question", you shouldn't fly international. You are clearly under-qualified & pose as a dangerous risk to everyone else. In short, you cannot have ESL level English and fly internationally. P/S: my country recently got cleared to fly directly over US air space, and land in US airports.
When I'm ordering at the Chinese restaurant: I don't want mushrooms. "Yes, we have mushrooms.' "I DON'T want mushrooms. "Yes we give you extra mushrooms."
I don't get how that could happen? I understand basic Chinese, and nothing in the language structure lends itself to that kind of misunderstanding (that I know of).
I can appreciate the air traffic controller! That would be soooo frustrating to have them make statements and pretend NOT TO KNOW THE QUESTION! That’s a BIG NOPE!
My fathers acquaintance is an instructor. I was considering workingfor an airline and he showed me level of proficiency I'd need to have. Played some recordings of english oral exams from some pilot cadets out here and they were just as funny as the chineese guy. They have to study manuals thick enough it can be considered weightlifting and still manage to sound so uneducated :D
I've never been scared of flying, but it concerns me a bit that apparently there seems to be a whole lot of room for misunderstandings, must be a rather stressful job working as an ATC, I wonder how long they last before they burn out...

Yah, reminds me of my Mom. She used to work in and trained trainees in chem labs, or QA offices. She would say "repeat the instructions back to me" and they said nothing like what she instructed. Even worse, they repeated correctly, but did not follow the instructions whatsoever. She then got into the work habit of having that tone even outside of work. It's real stress when there's such liabilities, like explosions, toxic fume, contaminating drinking water system; one time a venomous snake got out.
I was going to say that I don't trust them because I don't fly, but then I remembered that I live under the flight path of 3 international airports and one little municipal airport. It's been nice knowing you all!
@@pinnnkyton You're gonna back your statement up that chinese pilots are less likely to crash with a source or are you just talking out of your ass? And it doesn't change the fact that in that video the chinese pilot had poor communication skills which is absolutely critical in aviation. You shush.
Slow Down Winston, he's Chinese. I didn't understand and I speak English. He has not been cleared into the ramp. Phrase it: Do you have permission to enter the ramp? If that doesn't work: Explain who clears him, and then ask
If you can't speak the language well enough to communicate accurately and thoroughly (Kind of important when flying an aircraft)..Then why are you flying the aircraft?
Airline Pilot here. Yes its terrible English of course but the reality is that some foreign pilots English level won't improve ever. But that arrogant controller is not making the situation any easier. Because he increases the confusion by using more complicated words. Also his attitude is completely wrong with a angry tone. All this controller needed to do was to say HOLD POSITION then guide them in small simple instructions. Instead he went on a condescending rant and contributed to over all decreased safety. If one uses that tone and speak in such a way at work to coworkers and collegues it may be time to take a forced vacation or be dismissed.
ATC: “Did they clear you in to the ramp?” Air China 981: 💪 ATC: “No! It’s a question! Did the ramp people cleared you?” Air China 981: 👍 ATC: “Interrogative!!” Air China 981: “I’ll hold here”.
The first one was not angry- bro didn’t say anything remotely close to what he was asking. That could result in 350 people dying in a landing crash…. So yeah.
Why in the hell would they put hundreds of people's lives at stake regardless if they're on the ground or not all because of one era they cannot understand English really it's absurd and should not be happening with as much money as the airlines make.
If i was the control0r as soon as the plane was stopped i would have had that pilot flown home as a passenger . And filed a strong letter to the proper authorities.. with this audio along with it .

All this controller needed to do was to say HOLD POSITION then guide them in small simple instructions. Instead he went on a condescending rant and contributed to over all decreased safety. If one uses that tone and speak in such a way at work to coworkers and collegues it may be time to take a forced vacation or be dismissed.
Another reason that I don't fly...
Diversity in the friendly skies
Traffic controller is not angry, he is professional.
I’ve heard him on the original videos. It looks like he can be snippy at times.
Kennedy Steve, on the other hand, his natural enemy is tugs
I’d hate to hear him being unprofessional then.
Sounds like his ego is greater than his ability.
instead of 10 questions. just give instruction.
Don't asked questions. Be directive. You know the answer...
This is like Full Metal Jacket on the runway. Hilarious.
ATC: “Did they clear you in to the ramp?”
Air China 981: 💪
ATC: “No! It’s a question! Did the ramp people cleared you?”
Air China 981: 👍
ATC: “Interrogative!!”
Air China 981: “I’ll hold here”.
Atc needs a long vacation
This is not ATC’s fault.
@@dizzymindy6024who said it was?
First one was understandable
The first one was not angry- bro didn’t say anything remotely close to what he was asking. That could result in 350 people dying in a landing crash…. So yeah.
I thought pilots were required to have a proficient concept of the English language before they would be allowed to fly.
Apparently the bad driver stereotype also applies to flying
that´s harsh.. but funny
This is GAMER Anger.
If he was a teacher a student would walk in late and he would apologize for being early
Seems pretty unsafe having someone flying that plane they can’t communicate with the tower
Why in the hell would they put hundreds of people's lives at stake regardless if they're on the ground or not all because of one era they cannot understand English really it's absurd and should not be happening with as much money as the airlines make.
Because it's China. It's not just the language, it's their flying abilities (or lack thereof) as well. Accidents waiting to happen.
I would go ballistic if I had to deal with China like he has to do. Those people can be annoying.
Those ppl??!!
You people 😂😂😂
@@verywired1 What EXACTLY do you mean by that?
@@SupaEMT134you people
I never knew life at an airport could be so funny!
Sounds like when I'm on the phone talking to Walmart agents in the Philippines, Comcast in Brazil, Amazon in the Jungle !🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
Never flying Air China
If i was the control0r as soon as the plane was stopped i would have had that pilot flown home as a passenger . And filed a strong letter to the proper authorities.. with this audio along with it .
"who gets to go in first?"
"no, Who's on second"
Un error de comunicación fue determinante para la mayor catástrofe aérea de la historia, el accidente de los Jumbo en Los Rodeos, Tenerife.

I sure hope that Captain Ho Ri Clap can at least Fry the Airprane
Whenever someone is having a hard time understanding me I make sure to make myself easier to understand by yelling, sounding angry, speaking faster, using high vocabulary words and using English idioms instead of standard usage. It saves lives.
Have you been cleared to the ramp? OK! Cleared to the ramp🤣
And we wonder why air fraffic controllers drink and do drugs. Id do that every day after work if I had to do their job 😁😁😁
This is F'n scary!!!!
Oh Lord, GOD bless his passengers
Will that help the situation???
Just curious…….
I was waiting for the "meow"
Seems if you could fly a jumbo jet, you could speak the language required to do so. Perma- park that "pilot".
