it is normal to find ATPL candidates who cannot use the CRP5 and who don't know the difference between heading and track
Bloomin' Nora! For some reason I feel it necessary to express my complete astonishment at this. Surely all PPLs must have worked from PLOGs in the PPL and hour building???

I certainly could have benefited from better PPL groundschool for Nav and Met, but my FAA instructor was not familiar with much of the Nav and MEt questions in the confuser.
You mean somebody actually went through the theory subjects with you? When I did my PPL in the UK last year I didn't get any tuition on any PPL subject except the actual flight briefings. My PPL ground school consisted of me reading Thom books in the bath and on the train. I thought this was the norm
