Its amazing how many military pilots are unaware of the civil procedures in CAP 413 including some VC10 captains. Most have never received any training on the subject. If the exam is simple, it merely takes 10 minutes of the candidates time. It probably remains a requirement because military pilots continue to fail the exam. For the JAA ATPL, all candidates will have to sit the JAA Communications exams and not the UK RTF written.
