ICAO Language Proficiency Requirements Implementation in Civil Aviation of the Republic of Uzbekistan.

In the city of Samarkand, Language Proficiency Requirements Implementation Task Force (LPRI TF / 42) began its work leaning on the requirements of ICAO standards. The meeting was attended by the representatives of Austria, Denmark, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Moldova, Poland, the Russian Federation, Malta, Morocco, Uzbekistan, as well as ICAO, EASA, IATA, AOPA, the headquarters of International Civil Aviation English Association (ICAEA) and the European / North Atlantic Regional Office. This meeting is held by the Ministry of Transport of the Republic of Uzbekistan and UZCAA together with ICAO. The meeting was opened by the Director of UZCAА Takhir Nazarov. He emphasized the importance of this event for the development of the implementation of ICAO standards in the civil aviation of the Republic of Uzbekistan. At the meeting, the issues of English language proficiency level assessment, oversight of organizations responsible for conducting English language testing, harmonizing requirements for teachers, and recognition of state-issued certificates are planned to be discussed.

Today, a historic event has taken place at the Aviation Training Center of Uzbekistan Airways JSC.  The Aviation Training Center and the Turkish company “SKY ART” (skyart.com) signed Agreement for equipping the Center with the most modern equipment for training crew members in abnormal and emergency situations.  As you know, Uzbekistan Airways JSC operates the most modern aircraft and helicopters in the interests of its customers.  It is also known that Civil Aviation is the safest mode of transport.  However, in the event of rather rare emergency situations, aircraft crew members must act competently and harmoniously.  This will allow not only to ensure the rescue of passengers, but also to prevent the transition of an abnormal situation into an emergency, and an emergency situation into a catastrophic one. All activities of the subsidiary Uzbekistan Airways JSC represented by Aviation Training Center LLC are aimed at training personnel and continuous improvement of their knowledge and skills.  This task becomes achievable only with a highly developed training base and if the aviation training organization has a modern infrastructure and a competent instructor and teaching staff. The new simulator equipment which has been ordered today is a replication of the cabins of Airbus 320/321 and Boeing 787 aircraft. These devices allow you to work out all types of emergency situations inside the aircraft, as well as all possible methods of evacuation from the aircraft to land and water.  Not only pilots and flight attendants of Uzbekistan Airways, but also all other aviators of our country and partners from neighboring countries will be able to use these simulators. The Turkish company “SKY ART” (skyart.com) is the manufacturer and supplier of aviation equipment.  This company is the world leader in the design and manufacture of training equipment for aviation and law enforcement agencies. The signed contract will allow 100% to meet the needs of the airlines of the Republic of Uzbekistan in emergency rescue training of crew members on land and water.

Dear Colleagues!

I am proud to have the right to call you colleagues. Teaching, instructing and mentoring activities in civil aviation are rightfully considered to be the most important, highly-demanded and honorable work. All over the world, everyone who is called an aviator is constantly learning person. An instructor is a person who helps other aviation professionals acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to work safely. At the same time, he is someone who is looked at with admiration, respect and pride. Every competent and successful pilot, engineer, controller, ground service specialist strives to become an instructor and transfer his knowledge and experience to the next generations.

In this difficult period for the whole world, our air company demonstrates the sustainability of the business model created over many years, the stability and profitability of its activities, which allows us to adequately pay for the services of our instructors and teachers. At the same time, I am sure, that your honest and sometimes selfless work cannot be evaluated in material terms. I believe that sharing your knowledge and experience is like the ability of a kind person to share bread, water and shelter. These are the categories that cannot be paid for with money or some other material benefits. Therefore, I believe that every professional has an unpaid debt to those who taught and mentored him during his career. And this debt can be returned only by working in the interests of the next generations of students. This is another reason why our profession is so grand and honorable. We have been entrusted with repaying these debts by transferring our knowledge to other aviators.

Our great ancestor Omar Khayyam wrote:

For the worthy – there are no worthy rewards,

I put my belly for a decent glad.

Do you want to know if hellish torments exist?

With the unworthy to live – that’s where the real hell is!

 

These words are almost 1000 years old, but they are still relevant today.

I consider all of you to be the worthiest representatives of the Uzbek nation and the great profession of a mentor!

Teacher and Mentor Day is an international holiday established by the United Nations back in 1966. In many countries it is celebrated on October 5th. Many CIS countries still consider the first Sunday of October as a teachers’ day, and only the Republic of Uzbekistan back in 1996 singled out this holiday on a separate date and celebrates it as a national day off.

“Aviation Training Center” LLC has always been considered and remains an important element of the entire civil aviation of Uzbekistan. In our country, a great attention is paid to the training of aviation personnel. It should be noted that during 30 years of the state independence of Uzbekistan, the issues of training flight personnel, air traffic controllers, engineering and technical personnel remained among the main priorities. This policy has contributed to the safety and efficiency of national air transport for many years.

Today congratulations have been received from the Head of JSC “Uzbekistan Airways”, Minister of Transport of the Republic of Uzbekistan Makhkamov Ilkhom Rustamovich. We are also congratulated by all our partners from far and near abroad.

I would like to congratulate sincerely all the teachers, instructors and other specialists of Aviation Training Center on their professional holiday. I wish you good health, moral satisfaction from the work and, also, peace and tranquility in your private life. On behalf of all aviators, I bow down to the ground and thank you for your noble work, adherence to principals and fortitude!

 

I would like to complete my speech with Omar Khayyam words. It is widely known, he was not only a philosopher and a poet, but also a famous mathematician (he was engaged in algebra) and had some students in the field of math and other exact sciences, who in terms became famous for their achievements:

For a wise man, everyone is a mentor,

Who tells the Truth!

It doesn’t matter Who,

It doesn’t matter How,

And what is extremely important is that come from the mouth!

I appreciate everything, that comes out from your mouth, thank you for your minds, hands, and thank you and your family for your and their patience!
