Is it possibly nicked, and then corrupted in translation
No! This is what happens when you let clerks try and interpret things they have no comprehension of! EASA would certainly not take anything from Microlight flying.
I go on to remind them that one of my essential duties and responsibilities is to ensure his/her future passengers are in competent and safe hands and that their goal today is to demonstrate this as well as just fly the aircraft.
So, if they don't meet the goal they do not pass. The LAPL test is not a lower standard than the PPL test. The reality is that very few will pass at 30 hours.
