Chiarimenti sulla radiotelefonia e sul language proficiency check

The guidelines state that pilots must pass specific language proficiency tests depending on their license type. For those with a LAPL or PPL license, proficiency in Italian is required if they are not native speakers, while all candidates must demonstrate their English radio communication skills through a practical exam and proficiency check for advanced licenses like CPL or IR.

Key points

• Non-Italian speakers must prove Italian language proficiency to fly in Italy.
• All pilots must complete a Language Proficiency Check for English depending on their license type.
• Native Italian speakers do not need a proficiency check if they possess an appropriate educational diploma.
