mad_jock I completely agree with you! But I just want to pass that f**ing exams. I've got FAA CPL, IR, ME and I'm so pissed off about JAA way to exam pilots. In USA questions at the exam are from the pilot's life and quite easy to understand. In Europe you have to be an aeronautical engineer, aviation medicine doctor, lawyer and dispatcher to be a pilot. And spend almost a year just to pass ATPL exams.
