Abstract
The method S200 can include: at an aircraft, receiving an audio utterance from air traffic control S210, converting the audio utterance to text, determining commands from the text using a question-and-answer model S240, and optionally controlling the aircraft based on the commands S250. The method functions to automatically interpret flight commands from the air traffic control (ATC) stream.

A method comprising:
- based on an Air Traffic Control (ATC) audio signal, determining a plurality of entity hypotheses which are phonetically-conflicted;
- based on a set of contextual information, determining a respective language score for each phonetically-conflicted entity hypothesis of the plurality using a language model;
- deconflicting the plurality of phonetically-conflicted entity hypotheses by selecting a first entity hypothesis of the plurality based on the respective language score;
- and
- performing an action based on the first entity hypothesis.
