That's not the point. The point is that an American accent, even
"standard" American without any noticeable regional dialect, can be
an obstacle to foreigners who were taught British English, especially
if their command of the language is not perfect.

This is incorrect. If they are sufficiently fluent in English, the
accent will not be an obstacle. Any accent strong enough and
different enough to be a problem would also be a problem for native
English speakers. In this case, the native speakers understood
easily, and so the problem was the incompetence of the pilot. Rest
assured, he wouldn't understand any British accent, either.


Wrong agian, fjuktard.


I am a pilot and accents are a problem for all pilots. As well as
syntax.


But then you don't fly, so how could you know that?

In your world, I'm sure you believe that.
