"Before too long" ?

Beagle,

Timescale please ?

Will this include a move away from the silly 9 exams that were introduced in 2013 because a certain person at the CAA was unable to understand EASA regulations that mean that "exam(s)" could mean as few as 1, and as many as 9 ?

And then compounded it in 2014 when he realised that it definitely stated "no more than 120 questions".

And will it also exclude all the questions taken straight from the EASA CPL/ATPL question bank ?

We want something that tests knowledge that students should know, excludes the could know/nice to know, and it's should not change. No more of this "let's see if we can poke about in the far corners of the syllabus to see how many candidates we can fail" attitude that has been going on in ATPLs for the past 6 months plus.

I expect AOPA to earn their corn on this.

Especially as the current Ground Examiners have not been consulted.

So....can you fill in some detail please ?

And....why not just publish the question bank like the FAA do ? It shows students what they need to know, and puts all these question banks out of business at a stroke.

As soon it is online, no doubt the questions will be on someone's question bank before long and they will change for it.
