That may be the most rediculous thing that I've ever heard. And you wonder why its so hard to train these guys. Train them using both chinese and english, if they don't understand something in english tell them what it is in chinese then have them say it back to you in english. I mean look,learning to fly is hard enough as it is, progress is definately going to be hampered by that. If you have to explain what a horizon is to them before they can level the wings, think of how difficult its going to be to explain why they can't fly into the TFR. Do it in both. Hell, I deal with EVA, and Korean Air, and China Southern on center on nearly a daily basis, and half those guys can't communicate effectively in english, and they're captains, let alone brand new student pilots trying to learn to fly. Make it easier on them and they might learn a little quicker and at a correllary level rather than just rote memorization every time they do something.
