Gasax, far from anyone having any evidence to show that instructor flights make PPLs any safer, the recent CAA safety review of the post JAA new regime of biennial instructor flights, 90 day rule, annual MEP testing etc, show absolutely no measurable improvement in safety whatsoever. The whole malarky is just stifling the lifeblood out of GA by uneccessary regulation and jobs for the boys....
And as Beagle says, we should all get our comments on the proposed 6 yearly tests onto the EASA website asap (and make sure they are unfavourable!)
