Simulator Interpreter

When language shouldn't be the reason a pilot fails

Alcance Aviation is ready with a full team of interpreters embedded directly in simulator training — full-day coverage, from pre-brief to debrief, for pilots who aren't yet comfortable in English.

Some of the world's best aviators can fly the aircraft perfectly and still struggle in the sim — not because of skill, but because of language. We're ready to deploy interpreters alongside instructors and check airmen throughout the entire training day: briefings, simulator sessions, CRM scenarios, and checkrides — using real aviation terminology, not generic translation.

Why Simulator Interpretation

The Concept

A specialized interpretation service designed to support flight crews during simulator-based training conducted in English. The service provides real-time interpretation between flight crews and instructors, helping ensure that technical explanations, procedures, corrections, and training-related communication are clearly understood.

Why This Service?

Pilots frequently attend simulator training outside their country, and English is the primary language of instruction and communication in training centers. Although many professional pilots have a strong command of Aviation English, highly technical simulator training can involve complex explanations, rapid exchanges, unfamiliar terminology, and detailed instructor feedback. Specialized aviation interpretation helps remove unnecessary language barriers while preserving the efficiency and objectives of the training session.

What the Interpreter Provides

During simulator training
  • Real-time interpretation
  • Support with instructor–pilot communication
  • Support during complex or high-density communication
Service Proposal

We provide specialized interpretation support for flight crews undergoing simulator-based training in English-speaking aviation training centers. The service is designed to facilitate clear and accurate communication between flight crews and instructors throughout the training process, while preserving the technical integrity and objectives of the training session.

Scope of Services

  • Simulator training sessions
  • Pre-simulator briefings
  • Post-simulator debriefings
  • Instructor–pilot communication
  • Training-related administrative or operational communication

Professional Differential

  • Extensive experience teaching and assessing Aviation English
  • Experience working with professional pilots
  • ICAO English proficiency assessment experience
  • Knowledge of aviation terminology and operational communication
  • Extensive experience communicating with flight crews in English
  • Specialized understanding of the linguistic demands of pilot training and assessment

Role Within the Training Environment

The interpreter acts as a linguistic facilitator, supporting communication between the instructor and the flight crew — without replacing the instructor, influencing training decisions, or interfering with the assessment process. The objective is to ensure that language never becomes an unnecessary barrier to the effective delivery and understanding of technical training.

Potential Application

Particularly valuable for airlines and operators sending flight crews to international training centers, where consistent, aviation-specific interpretation keeps training on schedule and on standard.
