The CAA LWTR for A&C has always allowed exemptions from the multi choice if someone holds an A&P. With the removal of the essay questions & now the oral, obviously anyone holding an A&P can get A&C without an oral.
It is not just Avionics who gain but all A&C engineers who go for an Electrical license. They no longer have to do written questions / oral & only need sit 100 multi choice to get an X Elect ticket. Level playing field, I would say even if I don’t agree with the new system.
We (LAE’s) let the written questions go by the way side & now most A&C are happy there is no oral for their Elect. Do you hear many complaints from A&C’s that there is no oral?
Morroccomole stop complaining. It is a level playing field, just the CAA have let us all down. Your post just sounds like sour grapes to me. You don’t have the guts to sit 100 elect questions, so start slagging off Avionic LAEs. If you do have a problem write to the CAA or CHIRPS.
We thought Section L was hard when we did our exams but 66 will be a give away for those who can learn the answers to multi choice.
Times change so get one with it. Even if someone holds a LWTR it does not mean they have any experience or are capable of doing the job. Word of mouth still rules as it is still a small industry.
