Chocks,
I'm interested in this assessment thing. Is this during hour building? This is the only time that I am pretty much left to my own devices. As you will be aware when you get your Bristol pack, the ground school assessment is constant. Other than that you will be in P.U/S training for your ME, CPL and IR, if you're not doing well here, then I think they'll let you know!
However, if you are saying that the hour building phase is properly structured then I agree. That would be an advantage as an employer will have more confidence in your ability to transit controlled airspace and function in busier environments (depending on the quality fo the structure). Other than the school not getting zone infringement letters from the CAA in the morning post, how can this be assessed more per se?
