I agree with Roman on this.  Although Esperanto sounds as though it will
be more easily understandable by non-native English speakers, I suspect
what it will actually mean is that the tags would be equally confusing
for everyone.  There's a reason that English and not Esperanto is the
language used internationally by air traffic controllers.  It's
universally taught, and if someone doesn't understand the meaning of a
particular tag he or she is a lot more likely to be able to find an
English-speaker to explain it than to find an Esperantist.
