They havent explained it that well and I think that is to account for people
who (I know) didnt meet the 36 month rule when it was 60 months
Why incidentally does the JAA ATPL knowledge disappear from pilots brains
faster than the national ATPL knowledge?
Maybe its because you can buy the question bank so its easier?
