It's still ridiculous and written for children. Somebody please find me the definition of "often"? All they have done is add in some things that sound vaguely aviation related.
  • Often loses things necessary for tasks or activities e.g., toys,
  • Has difficulty sustaining attention in theory lessons, in-fight instruction, tasks or play activities
  • Often has difficulty playing or engaging in leisure activities quietly.
  • Often runs about or climbs excessively in situations in which it is inappropriate
  • Often interrupts or intrudes on others (eg, butts into conversations or games)
How would a flying instructor know if an adult engages in any of these behaviours? Not the sort of things you would expect an adult to be doing at flying lessons. In thier private life maybe but that is none of our business!

This is putting way too much into the hands of the instructor, for example if they don't observe the student playing games and then say "no" then there is an incident is the instructor that fills in the form responsible?

THIS IS THE DOMAIN OF CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGISTS NOT FLYING INSTRUCTORS
