Aesir you said "However in JAA land all LPC are done by Examiners who are very experienced."
Are you sure?? Ask to see their log book and even then to a check on them!!
Sadly You will be surprised.
Check JAR to see how little experience is needed now to be a FE.
Its CAA uk allows Each Training School to nominate their own.
Heilds at present has the least experienced examiner but thats only a rumour perhaps you know one with even less.
