There is another change in the latest Standards Document 11 V5, which I hope is merely a cock-up....

Hitherto, in Version 04 (and probably ever since Orville and Wilbur stopped mending bikes), the guidance was:

5.2.3 Following marking of the paper and if the candidate achieves a pass, the examiner should discuss with him/her any questions that have been incorrectly answered. However, if a candidate fails, the examiner may indicate where weakness has been indicated, but should not discuss answers to specific questions.

Whereas in Version 05, it states:

4.3 Action following a PASS

4.3.1 The examiner should indicate areas where weakness has been found, but should not discuss answers to specific questions.


This is nonsense. It is vital that inexperienced pilots are debriefed in depth and specifically on those questions they failed - I've written to a Senior Belgranoist to ask him to clarify the situation.
