Making the Case for Enhanced English Language Standards for Pilots Worldwide
Working pilots with no prior knowledge of English struggle to attain and maintain ICAO Operational Level 4. They often have little understanding of English beyond the requirements of ICAO. This causes difficulties in aircraft technical training and CRM/TEM. A two-pronged approach to Aviation English training for pilots is needed. Ab-initio pilots should be immersed in an English training environment which fosters attainment of expert level English. Current civil pilots need English training materials delivered to them on their hand-held devices for ease of access while on trips. This should be targeted at systems and procedural knowledge

Towards a Multi-Subject Analysis of Neural Connectivity
Directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) and associated probability models are widely
used to model neural connectivity and communication channels. In many
experiments, data are collected from multiple subjects whose connectivities may
differ but are likely to share many features. In such circumstances it is
natural to leverage similarity between subjects to improve statistical
efficiency. The first exact algorithm for estimation of multiple related DAGs
was recently proposed by Oates et al. 2014; in this letter we present examples
and discuss implications of the methodology as applied to the analysis of fMRI
data from a multi-subject experiment. Elicitation of tuning parameters requires
care and we illustrate how this may proceed retrospectively based on technical
replicate data. In addition to joint learning of subject-specific connectivity,
we allow for heterogeneous collections of subjects and simultaneously estimate
relationships between the subjects themselves. This letter aims to highlight
the potential for exact estimation in the multi-subject setting.Comment: to appear in Neural Computation 27:1-2
