And if they do conform they will have to increase their PPL course fees by £1,700 to offset the 67 hours classroom requirement, and charge additional sums to pay for a ground examiner to sit in a room while his/her student sits their TK tests.
Instead of blindly following what you see why not try your own AMC?
Here is what we did.....
Chose an online CBT provider for the PPL TK. Entered into a deal with the to provide the training which we obviously make a margin out of. Use the time tracking function of the provider to track 90hrs of self study. Then told the CAA that we are going to provide 10hrs of classroom training.
Accepted by the CAA.
The stuff in the manuals is not LAW it is guidance, even in the template manuals you do not have to follow to the letter what is in them, you can deviate if you can provide a simple clear statement that covers the requirements.
There is NO requirement for anyone to sit in the room with the student. The invigilator can be outside the exam room doing other things provided that they can ensure the student is not cheating. This has not changed. Therefore there is no need for you to pay anyone to sit with the student.
