Dr Evil 2002
I did ask Oxford (and just about all the other schools) what their 1st time pass rate for the IR is (and CPL); they refused to answer. Funny that they make such a fuss about their groundschool pass rates (and let's face it, they and BGS do seem to get consistent thumbs up for groundschool), but they are unwilling to talk about flying results.
There was an exchange here some months back between a couple of OATS instructors that suggested that the 1st time pass rate for the flying tests was not very good there. Perhaps that's why they won’t publish figures.
The whole subject of output results of FTOs has been debated here many times; the usual conclusion is that the populations at the various schools are not standardised, so output results (such as 1st time pass rates) would be misleading.
Oh well back to the books.
