Only say that, as I met a RAA Pilot last week, who was very new to flying with a recent Jab purchase, and I was quite disturbed around the lack of weather knowledge, or the ability to even decode a TAF. INTER and TEMPO the bloke had no idea.
I think they need to tighten the bolts around RAA Navigation. Radio License should be a must for those travelling long distances, in this case it seems be 135nm, and the bloke didn't even have a radio license.
