Hey everybody! This is my first post. Got a question...

Say you're an American pilot flying to Germany. What language is used
when communicating with the tower? Does the American pilot have to be
able to speak the language of the country they are flying to? Maybe this
is a stupid question but I've always wondered how that works.


English is the international language.
It's a requirement for an Airline Transport Pilot License that the
applicant speaks and understands English
