B61 I couldn't agrree more
"absolutely no support from me for this suggestion"
Why? As what we have at the moment is every single answer on the internet. You could pass every paper with one hours study.
As reassuring as beagle's comments are. The CAA announced when they first went to 9 papers how they consulted with experts. Yet despite being told they were not fit for purpose they pushed them through.
I'm expecting them all to go online. They will remain as 9 exams and the candidate will be billed the same cost as an ATPL written exam. All of which will go to the CAA. And within a week all the answers will be for sale on some android app.
And beagle don't make me laugh about the CAA taking legal action about copyright of exam questions. The CAA don't take any action when a school refuses to release exams results when a student moves to a different school
