eng	From Cockpit to Classroom – How Aviation Training Techniques Translate to Language Learning	This paper will discuss the evolution in training methods that have significantly improved commercial flight safety over the last forty years. The paper will then examine how these methods can be extended to academia and the teaching of language. Two areas will be discussed in detail: the shallow authority gradient between an airline captain and the crew, and what this means for language teachers; the methods used for training co-pilots as future captains and how this approach can benefit academic students. After examining how a shift in focus from flying skills to personality based skills enhanced the performance of flight crew, this paper aims to show how similar techniques can be employed by language teachers to engage students and create an effective learning environment. In addition, the development of personality based skills in aviation overcame a significant weakness in status-led authority: a belief that the captain was always right. This paper concludes, therefore, by discussing how levelling the teacher-student authority gradient can further benefit language learning in the classroom.	training methods; language teaching; learning environment; personality based skills; teacher-student authority gradient
