Word List For Aviation Industry? I need quick help please...

[C.J.]

I just got a contract to teach pilots and air traffic controllers aviation English and although I know all the English terminology from years as a private pilot, the Chinese aviation vocabulary would help a lot. I cannot seem to find this industry-specific vocabulary on line. Any hekp would be very appreciated.

There's a useful site called Google that allows you search for things like this online. A Google search I did came up with for example:

 

航空英语常用100个词汇

英汉、汉英航空词典 （This is a searchable dictionary)

航空航天词汇 (This page contains links to many other pages with aviation-related Chinese and English)

A read through the English and Chinese version of this would probably be helpful:

 

Civil Aviation (Policy oriented...)

Actually, the most important thing is don't mention shooting at an airplane: 打飞机。 You will not be able to restore composure to the classroom for several minutes after saying that.

I think that's about as unlikely as calling a girl 飛機場 or a boy 飛行員 by accident.
