they would surely still base their assessment on how much actual flying experience you have?
for example, since 250 hours is the cutoff between the long course and short course, and there are 2 candidates, one with 30 hours experience and one with 220 hours, then wouldn't the 220 hour pilot still be expected to fly to a higher standard than the 30 hour pilot, regardless of if they both are going for the long course? So i would imagine that even though the 220 hour pilot might theoretically find it easier to do the assessment than the 30 hour pilot, they wouldn't be able to take it for granted since the flying assessors will still expect the 220 hour pilot to fly to a certain level, they surely couldn't fly to the standard of the 30 hour pilot and still expect to pass.
