With over 70 raters from around the world working with over 200 speech samples, the RSSTA was the largest project of its type ever undertaken, the success of which lies in large measure with the expertise and commitment of the raters who took part. Without your participation, the project would never have come to life. The final training aid will be publicly available free-of-charge on the ICAO website in the coming months. We hope the RSSTA will have a positive and lasting impact on language training and assessment for the aviation industry, and ultimately, on flight safety. Many thanks once again Rachel - we are extremely grateful for your support. With best wishes, Henry Emery Chair – ICAEA / ICAO RSSTA project International Civil Aviation English Association
