the CAA introduced reams of paperwork for the practical
I am not quite sure what the objection is. It's only a written record of the practical test and can be easily done with self-evident abbreviations. If there were no such record, there would be problems if there were an appeal against a failure. Further, the CAA reserves the right to moderate the result and there could, in an extreme, be evidence to overturn a pass decision. Surely, it is just a matter of running the procedure on a formal, organised basis?
