Typical power settings during cruise and other phases of flight
As a corporate pilot who spends a lot of time in Europe I can attest that
the French controllers speak MUCH better English than the English controllers. Karl Further, Dassault makes the finest corporate jets available, especially from a pilot's perspective.

They are all behind the U.S.; but France also has the handicap of its insistence on doing everything its own way, plus its inability to speak English. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |

I guess when it comes to standards (as in ICAO), then the country with the most exceptions is the USA... It's still the center of the aviation world, and the leading edge of aviation as well. Europe is a backwater by comparison, as in most domains. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |

I've heard that French controllers are derisively referred to as "keskeedees," because they are always saying "Qu'est-ce qu'il dit?" ("What did he say?") in the background to their colleagues when guiding aircraft in English. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |

@i3g2000cwc.googlegroups.com: Unfortunately you're right, but there's something to be said for a nation that can't remember any history further back than the last presidential election. We look at Europe, and (when we're in an ironic This is hogwash. There is not a single American over the age of 30 who doesn't remember the "Hanging Chad" election! And I bet there's not a single American over the age of 40 who doesn't remeber the "Read My Lips" election. Remembering the American Revolution incident, however, stopped being a useful memory to most living Americans after about 1977. |

The same is true for the United States. An inability to speak English is not a problem for the U.S., and since it represents most of the market, doing things its own way also tends to be doing things the majority way. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |
