   May be all pilots need to have English tests like they do in the UK.   
      
   Want to change my address on my PPL and Commercial licenses but the CAA insist   
   I take an English test at 30 - 50 pounds by a examiner.   
   Pointed out to them that I have lived in the UK for some 75 years and also    
   hold   
   other licences from MOD, USA, Barbados, Israel to name but a few and have    
   never   
   been asked this, despite holding a radio certificate for all of them for in   
   excess of 50 years.   
      
   They were not too impressed when I asked if the language (English) has changed   
   in this time period :)
