In
this
part
of

air
traffic
controllers.
The
recordings
will
be
played
twice.
There
is
a
five-‐second
pause
before
the
recording
is
repeated.
After
listening
to
the
recording,
you
should
tell
me
everything
that
the
pilot
and
the
controller
said.
I
will
then
ask
you
a
question.
At
the
end
of
Part

it?
______________________________________________________________________________________
Now,
considering
the
three
situations
you
heard
in
part

-‐ How
would
you
compare
them?
You
may
want
to
compare
them
in
terms
of
severity,
possible
solutions
and
ways
of
prevention.
Which
one
do
you
think
is
the
most
difficult
to
deal
with?
Why?
Thank
you.
That
is
the
end
