SAMPLE TEST

LESSON29-SAMPLE TEST 2



LISTEN,READ AND ANSWER THE QUESTIONS









Avianca 052 was on a regularly scheduled flight from Bogotá to New York's Kennedy Airport. Approaching New York, the aircraft was put in a series of extended holding patterns. Bad weather at Kennedy airport had caused many delays in take offs and landings and many aircraft were diverted to another airports or put on holding before cleared to land. After holding for 77 minutes, Avianca 052 informed ATC that they were running out of fuel and had only 5 minutes of fuel remaining. The flight was then cleared for approach and landing but, on short final, they encountered wind shear and the crew decided to discontinue the approach and proceed to the holding point for another approach.
During go-around, the plane ran out of fuel, all engines shut down and the aircraft crashed in a wooded area. Due to the lack of fuel, the aircraft did not burst into flames on impact, and this circumstance probably saved the lives of 85 people. Seventy-three passengers and crew died.

Investigators found that the captain spoke very poor English and had to communicate through the first officer. Although the crew stated in several occasions that they needed priority due to the fuel shortage, they never declared emergency.

Sample Questions:

Have you ever heard about a plane landing short of fuel?
Do you think that poor English is an important contributing factor in some accidents?

LESSON25-PRESENT PERFECT FOR RECENT EVENTS/PRESENT PERFECT/P.P with JUST,ALREADY AND YET



In this lesson we´re going to talk about the Present Perfect for Recent Events and Present Perfect in general-
Let´s start with the first one.We use Present Perfect for Recent Events when the action has just happened and we can see the result.

Example:We´re in the tower of certain airport and let´s say got an information:The terorists have just hijacked the plane.
Do we know when they hijacked the plane? Was it a long time ago? the answer is-NO.Can we see the result now? The answer is-YES.
If the plane is on the ground we can see the plane and the hijackers in the flightdeck(cockpit) ,or if the plane is in the air we could hear the transmission from the cockpit by pilot or by one of the terorists
past___________x____________________now______________________future
past action present result


You´ll notice that in the conversation or in writing for the 3d person we use He´s done,She´s burnt..It creates some confusion for foreign students.They might think we´re using Present Simple.The only way for them to distinguish is the participle of the verb.On the other hand we often use the short way of "have" I´ve done...You´ve cleaned...
Very important point: For us the morning finishes at 12:00 afternoon/midday.So after that we cannot say I haven´t had any coffee this morning.We should say I didn´t have any coffee this morning.But I haven´t had any coffee today.Why?-Because the day is still on.
Present Perfect: Have+ Participle of the verb

We have had a bumpy ride.
Have you ever flown A-380?
The flight has gone.
He´s has been a pilot for 10 years.



Now let´s talk about grammar a little bit:Present Perfect with yet,just already.
Rules:
Use yet in questions and negative sentences.
Use just or already in positive sentences.
Use just to say the action is very recent.
Use yet if you haven´t done something,but you plan to do it.
If the other person thinks you haven´t done something,use already to say you have done it.

Examples:
Has the pilot retracted landing gear,yet?
Yes,he has just retracted them or Yes,he´s already retracted them.
No,he hasn´t retracted them,yet.
Has the plane landed,yet?
yes,it has just landed or Yes,It has already landed
No,the plane hasn´t landed,yet or Not,yet!

LESSON24-WIND AND TURBULENCE

Listen to the dialogue.Read the summary and correct the three mistakes.

GH1559 encountered heavy rain and thunderstorms.ATC gave them two options;go north or turn west and go south of the weather.The pilot wanted to go north because the weather was moving south.ATC gave all traffic alerts about windshear,microburst activity and severe snow.ATC informed GH1559 that a thunderstorm was directly over the airport and gave them two options;to direct them somewhere to hold or to issue delaying vectors.GH 1559 requested a straight in approach due to minimum fuel.

LESSON19-MEDICAL PROBLEMS DURING FLIGHTS

There may be medical problems during flights.Majority of in-flight medical emergencies are managed(handled) by the cabin crew.Others may require help from a doctor on the ground.So the pilots and the cabin crew should know medical problem vocabulary in order to be able to transfer the message to the Ground.Here are some phrases and vocabulary:

Talking about passengers: He´s got a cold
                                     He´s got a headache.
                                     He´s got a cough.
                                     He´s got a stomachache/he´s having stomach pains
                                     He feels sick/ill
                                     He feels dizzy
                                     He´s hurt his head/leg/arm
                                   

Emergency:

He´s having chest pains.
She may be going into labour.
She´s fainted
He´s got asthma
She´s having a seizure
He´s behaving very aggressively
He´s choking


animal bites                                         heat exhaustion and heat stroke
breathing problems                               haemorrage(bleeding)
broken bones                                       high blood pressure
burns                                                  hyperventilation
cardiac arrest(heart attack)                    neck/spine injury
cuts and scrapes                                  nosebleed
dental emergencies                               insect stings
dislocations                                         sprains and strains
drowning                                            stroke(brain attack)                                      
drug overdose                                      unconsciousness
electric shock
eye injuries

In some cases let´s say seizure,doctor on the ground can give you the instructions through the VHF,how to handle that situation.
