is alot better than previous years. Still pretty shocking though. Just over 50% of rating issued compared to cpl issue, and quite a few of the rating issued will be experenced pilots moving fleets.
Some fascinating numbers in there - that there are less private than professional licences being issues does not look healthy for recreational flying, whilst I can't quite work out why three ATPL holders got issued with IMC ratings?
