Ex. 2. Divide the story into 6 parts under the following headings. Put the headings in the logical order.
Encounter with birds
|
Rescue
|
History of the flight

Ditching
|

|
The crew’s actions
|
Ex. 3. Make a list of three key words for each part, which will help you to remember the main points. Then retell the story. Ex. 4. Watch a video and listen to the radio exchange between the captain of flight 1549 and the ATC controller, read its tape script, then answer the questions.
Do you remember how exactly the captain reported multiple bird strikes?
How did he explain to the ATC why he was unable to land at LaGuardia and Teterboro?
In what way did he report his intention to ditch?
What do you think the ATC’s information “It’s going to be left traffic to RWY 31” means?
How did the controller respond to the pilot? (Did he ask many questions? If yes, which ones do you remember? Was the ATC efficient and helpful? What makes you think so?)
Did both of them use standard radio-telephony phraseology in their com- munication?
Can you give any examples of the non-standard phraseology you heard?
Why do you think pilots do not always stick to standard phraseology in ab- normal or emergency situations?
If you encountered a similar problem in flight, how would you report it to ATC?
