Language proficiency does not automatically mean communicative proficiency.
Effective communication in aviation is not merely a convenience, it is a fundamental facilitator of safety, regulatory compliance and efficiency.
This White Paper from the Aircrew Training Policy Group (ATPG) titled The role of native English speakers in safe, efficient radiotelephony focuses on the roles and responsibilities of native English speakers in aviation communications.
