How to prepare for the ICAO Level 6 exam with MentalAviators®
Booking the training
If you want to prepare specifically for the ICAO Level 6 exam and feel that you are already very close to Level 6 in terms of content, you can book a special Level 6 training course with MentalAviators®. After booking, you will receive access to our online calendar, where you can select your preferred date for a training session.
You decide whether the training takes place on site at your location or online via Zoom. The content and intensity are identical—we adapt to your flying reality and your everyday life.
Confirmation and preparation
After booking your appointment, we will send you a confirmation email with all further information. This will include tips on how to prepare optimally so that you can get the most out of your training session.
We typically ask you to send us some brief information in advance, such as your current ICAO level, your flight experience, and your goal (e.g., upgrading from level 5 to 6 or attempting level 6 for the first time). If you already have an existing language certificate or old exam transcripts, you can also send these to us in advance. This allows us to tailor the training precisely to your level.
Training procedure (Part 1 – Structured tasks)
At the agreed time, your trainer will welcome you to the Zoom meeting or in person on site. It is worth logging in at least five minutes early to quickly check that your camera, microphone, and headset are working properly—just as you would in a real exam situation.
In the first part, we work with typical building blocks from a Level 6-oriented language exam, including:
– Structured questions about your flight training, your assignments, complex flight situations, unusual occurrences, and decision-making processes
– Detailed image descriptions with a focus on clarity, precision, and spontaneous language production
– Challenging radio and communication situations in which we use both plain English and language close to phrasology
– Where applicable, listening comprehension tasks (e.g., ATIS, radio recordings, unclear transmissions) in which we focus less on the “correct” answer and more on your linguistic skills, your ability to paraphrase, and your ability to clarify.
You will receive direct feedback on vocabulary, grammatical subtleties, pronunciation, idioms, and—most importantly—how “natural” and fluent you sound. Level 6 relies heavily on you speaking not only correctly, but also confidently, spontaneously, and with nuance.
Training procedure (Part 2 – Free Level 6 conversation)
The second part consists of a free conversation in English lasting about 20 minutes. Here we simulate the part of the exam where you talk to the examiner without a rigid structure.
The topics are deliberately kept open, but remain aviation-related or at least based on your professional reality.
We talk about crew coordination, stressful situations, critical incidents, safety culture, human factors, and your personal view of flying, for example.
This section focuses on how to argue, explain, put things into perspective, give examples, and clearly structure even complex thoughts spontaneously.
We look at whether you can use finer linguistic nuances, such as politely disagreeing, expressing uncertainty, discussing hypothetical scenarios, or incorporating cultural aspects. This is precisely the area where Level 6 differs from Level 5.
Focus of Level 6 training
Our training does not replace the official ICAO language test, but prepares you specifically for it. The focus is on the “last few percent” that can make the difference between level 5 and 6.
This includes, for example:
– your active vocabulary for more complex aviation and human situations
– Precise yet natural expression without “textbook English”
– Clear, but not exaggerated pronunciation that is easily understood internationally
– Speak fluently, even if you need to think or are asked unexpected questions.
– Dealing with misunderstandings, disruptions, and inquiries
If you wish, we can specifically practice situations that you find particularly challenging—such as spontaneous questions, “trick questions,” unfamiliar topics, or the feeling of speaking in a reserved manner in an exam situation, thereby performing below your actual level.
Evaluation, feedback, and next steps
At the end of the session, you will receive an honest assessment of how realistic we think a Level 6 attempt is and what you should work on before the actual exam. We will summarize the most important points and give you specific tips on how you can continue training on your own, for example with certain exercise formats, routines, or focus topics.
If necessary, you can book additional training sessions to work on specific weak points or simulate a complete “Level 6 run-through” shortly before your exam. The goal is for you to know exactly what to expect, how you sound, and to go into your actual ICAO Level 6 exam feeling realistic and well prepared.
