Default Bad Engrish?

The controller getting upset doesn't do any good. That just makes a

Given the workload of the controller and the potential risks, I think
he did very well.

You either take the time or you tell him to shut the thing
down.


It's unlikely the pilot would shut down; that would be a tremendous
loss of face. It's also unlikely that any amount of explanation would
allow a person who cannot understand English to suddenly start
understanding it.

Nobody needs to get upset. I hate it when controllers act all ****y.
I was flying through the palm springs tursa one day and ATC was
getting all over this guy in a helicopter. The guy didn't speak good
English and was getting more and more confused as the guy yelled at
him. I almost asked for his number so I could call him and remind him
what his job was.


The pilot, or the controller? If the pilot can't understand English,
he needs to stay on the ground.



Not in France, they don't!

Which just goes to show you don't know what you're talking about, yet
agin.
