Is this really one of the 'thinkings' behind the PPL exams?
If somebody wants a PPL, then they want a, er, PPL. If they want to go on to 'the ATPL theories that follow' then they will, and will need to put in the necessary effort. Who on earth thought that the PPL exams should be preparation for an ATPL?? For Christ's sake, don't try to make the PPL some sort of 'entrance exam' for the ATPL course.
Hopefully I've got the wrong end of the stick...
