Hi WWW. The JAA thingy works like this.
Basic 45 Hrs. 10 Hrs. solo. No requirement for 4 Hrs. Inst.But must be able to VOR/ADF track. Basicaly the whole course is a lot easier to teach. You work your guts out to get them solo, teach them Nav (inc.VOR tracking),do some landaways and send them on their Qual. X-Ctys.They now need 5 Hrs. Nav solo.The skill test is a NFT/GFT combine which is OK as the orig. NFT was quite demanding to teach.All my students seem to like the new sylabus, although you can still teach to the old one.
Anyway. Thats enough about that, i'm halfway through my I/R at EGHH and students are the last of my concern!!!
