Monkey See ... Monkey Do

Yes I think the feedback from this exercise will rather cynically be used to redefine the examination requirements for what is a rating that enables one to fly single crew light aircraft...

They will say things like the ATPL and IR exams are too airline focussed for the IR and use terms like 'Integrated' you can just see it...

Now where was that book on the ICAO Multi-Pilot Rating...?

Instead of wasting time on failing folks for this why don't they put out a video of the chief examiner doing a test route with all the planning etc thrown in.... Now that would be interesting....

Of course that will never happen because 'its all a bit of a secret...' or is it because they would open themselves to criticism?

Another possibility the pass rates could be too good at Bournemouth and this is an attempt to bring them into alignment in advance of the FOIA...?

Oh dear I am so cynical but with such a secretive organisation
intent on financially milking and over regulating this industry I feel my response is justfied...
