I'm at FSP at the moment and I'll just let everyone know that the course has changed. It is similar but different in some respects to the past. There are now 3 streams: Basic, Intermediate and Advanced. Basic gets 8 flights, intermediate 7 and advanced 6. Not only does advanced have to do more stuff they have to do it in less flights. It has been changed to respond to the fact that too many low hour applicants were failing and too many 50+ hour guys were getting through.
I'll put more details up when I've finished. Let me tell you all though that the course is bloody awesome and great fun with a good group of people.
