this just came into my mind and the cat maybe have killed me out of curiosity haha...

i am just wondering if you pilots do encounter language or rather accent problems with ATc of a specific Country such as China, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand etc??

I'm not an international airline pilot, but the answer is without a doubt. I've seen videos of accidents and near accidents that have been a direct result of miscommunication due to language barriers. I have a few friends i went to school with in the towers at KATL with stories of a foreign pilots with alot of problems...shoot a few weeks ago, we had a Korean 744 do a 360 on the ramp...i'm talking in between two concourses...so yea, it's often a huge barrier, and English isn't exactly the easiest language to learn, to boot.

Yes, it's a problem. It can be particularly difficult when the other pilot(s) that I'm flying with have little or no international experience. It more or less becomes a single pilot operation for a while. I've been doing it for a lot of years and I still have occasional problems. The Thai, Taiwanese and for some reason, the Indian controllers can be a challenge for me.

I have the solution though. I say "Say again" three times and then broadcast what I intend to do and then do it.

I know English is the universal language for ATC, so I'm assuming you find the accents difficult to understand, or is it that they dont say things as you'd expect them to? I'm just curious.
Now you know how we feel when we get passed onto call centres in India lol...though I'm assuming thats happened to everone

Not being an international pilot myself (yet lol) i can't say from first hand, but i have had many pilots complain about the fact that alot of pilots who's native language is not English fail to use English as the primary in flight. I have heard story's of pilots entering a CTA to find the whole channel being spoken in a different language. A vital part of communication is simply just listening to the channel and becoming aware of your surroundings. If the whole channel is speaking in another language that you are not familiar with, it creates a slight problem. I have also heard stories of air traffic controllers becoming angry when foreign pilots come in and speak English when everyone else is speaking another language. As i said, i cannot verify these 'story's' but i can say for sure that language is definatly a barrier.
