Give it up, girls.
This thread ever had any meaning? Its little better than a jetblast thread, and I'm treating it as such. Its not every day you meet someone as entertaining as Ranga, why spoil the fun?
So, back to it.
"Point 1. So do you acknowledge that the PIRC exam is not a 'new' exam, and that it has existed roughly unchanged in 15 years or more?"
Porter : No.
Strange, given previously you have said

Why the flip flop?
Do you just flip a coin or something with each reply?
"Point 2. Are you now changing your position that there is no guidance material for the PIRC?"
Porter : "No"
You're not changing your position. Fascinating.
Point 2 " Is there guidance material or not?"
Porter "No"
And yet..

Heh, this just keeps getting better and better.
Regardless, there is a
mountain of guidance material for the PIRC. As posted earlier

- Aviation Instructor's Handbook (FAA-H-8083-9A)
This is the principal reference text
- A suitable management book on 'motivation'
A candidate is expected to have basic understanding of the theories of motivation proposed by:While FAA-H-8083-9A provides some short paragraphs on the first two (but mainly on Maslow), most management books provide satisfactory information on the 3 theories- Abraham Maslow's 'Hierarchy of Needs'
- Douglas McGregor 'X & Y' Theory
- Frederick Herzberg '2-Factor' Theory.
- Human Factors in Flight by Frank Hawkins or any human factors book on 'memory', 'motivation', 'stress', etc
Optional - to supplement information in the above
- Preparing Instructional Objectives by Robert F Mager
Optional - a useful text on 'behavioural objectives' to compliment FAA-H-8083-9A
- Measuring Instructional Results by Robert F Mager
Optional - additional useful text on 'behavioural objectives'
If you can't pass the exam with that enormous collection of reference texts then you maybe food delivery is better suited to your skill set.
