I only used the exam answer sheet/book as I said, as a reference source for topics to be studied. (FE/GR and ex C.of Papers)
Keith, what's missing from the above is our most important thought, that is the student and potential PPL. As discussed elsewhere, a simple question bank would suffice, similar to the FAA. Instead from October 1st we are presented with questions in Nav., very different, complex and importantly, not relevant to the PPL course. As I say, imagine you are a student PPL and when asking about the ground school element of the course, are told that 1)We are unsure what the syllabus is (apart from the FCL ref.),and 2) You have 9 exams, parts of which we can't be sure what to teach or self study.
And then you say "the industry" will catch up"! So we can't recommend which books to study and we don't know how much formal ground school to give.
Finally, we are told informally that the PPL course is to be reviewed next April, and you wonder why steam emanates from my ear lobes.
