I did one of these test forms for a lad enrolled on an integrated CPL course. CASA wanted an assessment in the aircraft of course. He was a quiet fella but exhibited no behavioural issues on the ground, what I would call a normal young bloke. We jump in the aircraft, we get the aircraft going, I direct him through the climb, talk him through setting up the cruise and say 'maintain 1500.' He did, bang on for the rest of the flight.

We get back on the ground and I said 'that was pretty good, how many lessons have you done?' he said 'none' nearly fell off the chair. He had been in theory for the start of his course. Aviation needs more young people with 'Autistic Spectrum Disorder'

Disorder my arse. What a joke. Avmed are supposed to be medical experts, we look to physicians as professionals, they are nothing but schysters.
