To me this summarises FAA primary training perfectly.
A complete lack of standardisation and the fact that becoming a pilot is now becoming an attendance course
Errrr thats total BS, Im British and I have done 15 or so FAA/JAA combined LST's / LPCs its the FAA bit that I worry about cos if you make a mess of it its red button pressed and the sound of the ramp lowering. None of this JAA "Show me that again" I have UK & FAA ATP's.
The groundschool exams are laughable on the FAA but backed up with an Oral which on occasion can last 120 mins which is tough.
Never worry about JAA checking, but FAA checking makes me really concentrate
