ARMY POLYTECHNIC SCHOOL DEPARTMENT OF LANGUAGES APPLIED LINGUISTICS IN ENGLISH PROGRAM “STUDY OF FLIGHT OPERATIONS AND AERONAUTICAL INFORMATION SERVICE AREAS AT THE COTOPAXI INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT TO DETERMINE THE AERONAUTICAL TECHNICAL ENGLISH REQUIREMENTS FROM OCTOBER- 2009 TO JANUARY-2010” AUTHOR: MARÍA GABRIELA RÍOS TORO DIRECTOR: Dr. Ma. Eugenia Arcos Jiménez M.Sc. CO-DIRECTOR: Lic. Marcos Morales. JANUARY- 2010 QUITO – ECUADOR
Introduction: • PART I • Research Problem • PART II • Theoretical Frame • PART III • Methodological Design • PART IV • Conclusions and Recommendations • PART V • Proposal
PART I GENERAL OBJECTIVE: To study the Flight Operations and Aeronautical Information Service areas at the Cotopaxi International Airport to determine the Aeronautical Technical English requirements.
SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES: To study the organization and functioning of both areas at the Cotopaxi International Airport. To study Inward Technical documentation of both areas, that the personnel have to receive from the foreign flight crews.(W&B) and (FPL) respectively. To study Outward Technical documentation of AIS area, that the aeronautical personnel have to proportionate to the foreign flight crews. (PIB) and (METAR).
Justification: • Aeronautical Technical English knowledge level of the personnel is limited. • There is not a normal and safety advising for foreign flight crews. • It is necessary to have a real support to answer the doubts of the foreign flight crews. • The benefits of the present research work will be significant for aeronautical technicians doing our job.
PART II – Theoretical frame INTERNATIONAL COTOPAXI AIRPORT • AIM: It is through the Headquarter administration, who takes charge of human resource, physical and economics airport purposes. • ORGANIZATION: The airport is administrated by the Civil Aviation Direction. It has three areas: OPERATIVE – ADMINISTRATIVE- GENERAL S. • MAIN OBJECTIVE: To control correctly the air transport, guaranteeing an efficient, regular, feasible set or environment to the clients.
Conclusions: • The elaborated guide of Flight Operations and Aeronautical Information Services areas was projected with the real necessity of aeronautical technical English used. • According with the study the technical personnel of both areas will dominate the requirements that we need to know in the elaboration of our diary job.
Recommendations: • The utility of this guide resides in the truthfulness of the information, that is why necessary the permanent upgrading according with the structure, functions, rules, normative, regulations, and dispositions dictated by the Aeronautic authority. • To motive the Flight Operations and Aeronautical Information Service areas technicians the permanent capacitating in the aeronautical technical English language and improve the quality of service.
Proposal • A GUIDE OF FLIGHT OPERATIONS AND AERONAUTICAL INFORMATION SERVICE AREAS TO SATISFY THE AERONAUTICAL TECHNICAL ENGLISH REQUIREMENTS OF THE FOREIGN FLIGHT CREWS TRAINING.
