Why does the CAA fully approve the 509 course but not the normal CPL/IR 'Frozen ATPL' course? Am I daft in wondering why only three schools in the UK offer 509 when the above would seem to make it obvious that the 509 course is the future. I know all the grief that comes up when anyone mentions 509, but is the CAA approval just because the airlines like to send their cadets the 509 way?
CONFUSED!!
