It's easy, with practice, to listen to the radio calls that are important to you. E.g. if I'm on the ground, I'll probably ignore requests to taxi from a terminal at the other end of the field but one from the terminal I am at will definitely register. This can be done whilst still maintaining lookout, scan etc. I'd need to see convincing evidence that the same is true for text messages. | |

So in many places it is common that the controller talks to different crews in different languages and situational awareness goes down the drain (and when there is an incident, investigators always suggest to stick to English, but nobody ever mandates it). | |
