Abstract

EPTA(English Proficiency Test for Aviation) was not very aviation realistic test before 2019. Testee needed pass listening test first. Then testee could take speaking test. There were 20sets of speaking test. If the testee memorize well, he or she could pass the test easily even though he or she was not very good at English. So the pilot and the authority agreed to change the format of EPTA since 2016. Through development of new EPTA format, the Korea Transportation Safety Authority started new EPTA test since January, 2019. It has been one year since the new format of EPTA started. Now I try to survey satisfaction of new EPTA through questionnaire.
