Is this a picture of propeller stop rotating or a picture taken using a powerful camera? The answer is propeller stop rotating on air during my exercise in the air today... We are practicing engine fire on the port side engine so the drill is to shut down the engine that is on fire...After practicing for the second time shutting down the engine in air, i finally got a chance to take the picture of the propeller stop rotating when the engine is been shut down...

Versant for Aviation

A Proven Test to Achieve ICAO English Compliance

The Versant Aviation English Test (VAET) was created as a robust, relevant, and reliable tool to help aviation employers meet the new requirements from the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) that mandate acceptable English language levels for pilots and air traffic controllers. The test was developed under a co-operative research and development agreement with the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and assesses the ICAO-defined spoken English levels of pilots and air traffic controllers. VAET aligns and is compliant with the standards specified by ICAO, while offering aviation employers a test that is practical to use - one that is more efficient and consistent than most traditional interviewing techniques.

ICAO Aviation English Test Now Available

Ordinate Corporation says its Versant Aviation English Test will be available to begin testing pilots and air traffic controllers on July 31 in support of the new International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) requirements for English language proficiency. Since signing a cooperative research and development agreement in February 2006 with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Ordinate developed a specialized test that measures spoken aviation English proficiency. The test assesses spoken English proficiency levels against the standards for English language set by ICAO to promote enhanced safety. Using the test, airlines and airport authorities can ensure the English proficiency levels of their pilots and controllers meet or exceed the "Operational" Level 4 standard required by ICAO by the March 2008 deadline. The test's automated scoring provides consistent results without the variation of human ratings. Using the Versant provides a more efficient, scaleable option to aviation employers who must certify their employees meet the ICAO standard. The aviation test was designed by aviation industry and linguistic experts. The development team followed a rigorous process to design the test with aviation veterans who have operational, training, and ICAO language committee experience. The test is now complete and undergoing extensive field trials with more than 1,200 pilots and air traffic controllers to confirm its validity and reliability. Versant tests spoken language skills. Ordinate was founded by two Stanford University professors in 1996 to develop advanced language testing systems using speech processing technology and the advanced science of linguistics. Ordinate is a wholly owned subsidiary of Harcourt Assessment, which is part of Reed Elsevier.
