Many pilots and airside drivers know the material but freeze up when it is time to speak. Our AI trainer is a speaking partner that responds in real time, at each candidate’s own pace, with direct feedback on every answer. Ideal for flight crews preparing for the ICAO test and for vehicle drivers on the manoeuvring area, who need operational Level 4 under ADR.OPS.B.029.
Practise the speaking tasks of the ICAO test and ADR.OPS.B.029 assessments, including picture description of airside situations.
Feedback on every answer, with vocabulary and pronunciation trained interactively.
Each candidate gets an assessment of their English level across all six ICAO criteria before the real test.
Combined with our ICAO tests for flight crews and ADR.OPS.B.029 assessments for ground staff: practise with AI, then certify with Volando.
The overall level follows the lowest criterion. Structure is the only thing between this candidate and Level 6: practising complex sentence structures is the way there.
ICAO English Certification for Airside Drivers
Key Information at a glance:
From January 7, 2026, all vehicle drivers operating in an airport’s manoeuvring area must demonstrate operational-level English proficiency to obtain or renew an Airside Driving Permit (ADP). This requirement applies to all drivers, including those operating Follow-Me vehicles, who need to apply for a new airside driving permit or renew their existing one. The certification must meet the ICAO Level 4 proficiency standard. This regulation is based on EASA ADR.OPS.B.029 and is closely linked to EASA ADR.OPS.B.024, which ensures that vehicle operators in the manoeuvring area can effectively communicate with air traffic control (ATC) at all times.
At Volando, we specialize in ICAO-compliant English training and certification for ground personnel in the aviation industry. We certify your staff in accordance with EASA requirements and ICAO guidelines and offer targeted training upon request. Additionally, we provide tailored preparation materials free of charge to support your team. Our online testing process minimizes administrative effort, ensuring a seamless and efficient certification experience for both you and your employees.
