RAA pilots have already done a BAK exam. Do you think GA flying schools will shortcut common sense just to hand out an AFR on them? Do you honestly think 1500 kg is harder than 600?
My concern is that many raa pilots are seeing this as a right-of-passage, tick-in-the-box type licence where it clearly wasn't meant to be.
There's a lot of talk saying "Can I do the test in my raa aircraft" etc etc........ no, you can't.
With so many people out there too "scared" to do the PPL theory exam, this looks like the same thing, but without the exam, so therefore it is very appealing on the surface of it.
