This cadet got 12 out of 42 in his compass scores
Aakhan: No matterwhere you go in the world, Compass (or any other computer based system) scoresare never given to a candidate. It is a confidential assessment for theemployer only.
The outfit in Australiais a very professional Academy from what I hear, and I’m sure there is good reason why your friend was terminated. Aviation is a fast paced industry, and it requires a lot of hard work and study. If your friend couldn’t keep up, then there is a problem. Sure the Academy could have considered his slow improvements, but slow is not good enough. If I’m not mistaken, the Academy gave him every chance they could to help him progress. But is it really fair to waste time and money giving him 200 hours of training to get him up to speed, when the Core Flying phase is only 70 hours?
And the fact that he scored low on the Compass Test leads to another question…why did Alpha offer him a place on the course? I think the answer is very simple: His folks could afford to pay the fees!
