Not long ago 100 Airline pilots from Europe who did the 14 JAA exams 5 Years + ago sat down and did 2 Multiple Choice JAA ATPL Exams as a study to see how well the great JAA training still stuck... needless to say that 94% FAILED BOTH TEST.
Do you have any details of that experiment? It doesn't suprise me; in the 7 JAA IR exams I did last year, at least 90% was not relevant to any form of aviation.

Many thx BillieBob for that info. It will save a bit of money.
Will M reg aircraft be affected as the Isle of Man is not in the EU?
Current "wisdom" seems to be that if the Operator is in the IOM then the pilot(s) will not need EASA papers.

This is dead handy for private owner-pilots who live on the IOM, or in the Channel Islands, all of whom appear to be totally protected from the EASA measure.
