Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Native English Speakers and Aviation Communication argues for the need to train and test native English speakers (NES) as well as non-native English speakers (NNES) in aviation communication. While Aviation English is the lingua franca of the skies, it is not a variety of English: it has no native speakers and NES must learn and practice it. Based on the practical experience of the author as a flight instructor and an Aviation English assessor, combined with academic research in language and communication, this book provides strong arguments for the need to teach standard aviation communication to native English speakers. It describes the challenges of aviation communication and the ongoing problems posed by the lack of relevant training or testing for NES, reviews the current state of affairs regarding regulations across a range of countries, and suggests training solutions to be integrated in the ground school curriculum and during flight training.
This book is an essential resource for researchers and advanced students working in English for Specific Purposes, Aviation English and Aviation Communication, as well as for professionals in aviation and aviation training.
