国际民用航空组织（ICAO）对多年来发生的航空事件、事故分析研究的结果表明，航空英语的运用能力不强是航空事故的主要原因之一，具体表现为航空工作人员(如航空器飞行 员、管制员)的英语听力和口语表达能力不强。因此 ICAO 要求所有从事国际航空运行的飞行员和管制员必须达到 ICAO 规定的语言等级 4 级（Level4）及以上水平。根据 ICAO 公约附件一的要求, 从 2008 年 3 月 5 日开始，从事国际航空运行和国内特殊航线运行的民航飞行员必须达到 ICAO 航空英语 4 级及以上的语言等级标准才可以从事相关运行业务。为了满足 ICAO 针对飞行员设定的新的语言测试和最低语言技能要求，提高中国民航广大飞行人员的英语水平以满足航空运行要求，同时更加有效、专业地评价飞行人员民航语言运用能力，根据 ICAO 规定的国际标准，中国民用航空局（以下简称中国民航局）飞行标准司开发了基于网络的中国民航飞行人员英语能力测试系统（Pilots ’ English Proficiency Examination of CAAC, 即 PEPEC）。
The International Civil Aviation Organization’s (ICAO) studies on aviation incidents and accidents occurring over the years suggest that the poor aviation English proficiency, namely the poor listening and spoken English of the aviation personnel (pilots, ATC controllers), is one of the major reasons for aviation accidents. Therefore, ICAO requires that all pilots and controllers must meet the provisions of ICAO Language Proficiency Operational level 4 or above. According to the requirements of the ICAO Annex 1, 1.2.9, from March 5th, 2008, civil aviation pilots engaged in aviation English language level 4 or above before they can perform their duties. In accordance with the relevant requirements of ICAO, to design a special civil aviation English examination appropriate for pilots has become a top priority for the Civil Aviation Administration of China. In compliance with ICAO mandated Language Proficiency Requirements, the Flight Standards Department of CAAC has developed a web-based English proficiency Testing System for flight crew in China (Pilots’ English Proficiency Examination of CAAC, abbreviated to PEPEC). The purposes of developing the test are as follows:
a) To meet ICAO’s new language testing and the minimum language skills for pilots.
b) To improve the general English level of the Chinese pilots to meet the requirements of aviation operations.
c) To evaluate the language competency of pilots more effectively and more professionally.
