I sure hope the RAAF aren't wasting more tax payers money because too many guys have passed so they start scrubbing people for stupid things. 150 hours is alot to then get scrubbed.
So using that logic, if we have a student who hits their capacity limit toward the end of the course, we keep them anyway because they have come that far. Then we would have "qualified" pilots out there who haven't met the standard flying multi-million dollar airframes. How would the taxpayer react to that?
The ADF trains to a standard which is rigorously maintained despite the best efforts of beancounters, politicians and students with lawyers.
While it is true that the majority of suspensions occur early in the course (desirable for many reasons), some do get suspended toward the end because they can't handle the more complex sequences.
