Please don't tell me that I need to write off to the CAA with a proposed training program. If so then I have a horrible feeling that the program will be being looked at by some office worker with no experience of flight training. I've been teaching full-time (PPL/CPL/IR) for over twenty years. If I can't be trusted to make sure that a person has sufficient training to be a safe and competent pilot then I should probably give up and get a job doing something else.
From the outside the CAA appear to have completely lost the plot. The new time scale for taking PPL written exams is ludicrous, and having to ask permission to conduct individual flight tests appears to be bonkers. What in the world is going on? Will we still be able to work in a years time, or will we have all been crushed in a mountain of paperwork?
