And whats wrong with the way I did my IR; you do enough training to pass the test. Then you could call it something like Competencey based training.
Didn't we throw that out of the window when JAR-FCL came in? The 40 hour approved course became 55 hours and guess what, less people passed first time? Reduce it to 25 hours and the pass rate should go up - less time to get bored!
