So does that mean the exam papers are going to be reissued again to take into account this 'simplified' syllabus?
They talk about updating a old syllabus, but what's actually changed in 40 years? Other than including radio aids and gps.
And the CAA had to go to a book publisher to come up with this!
(OK he's an instructor, I suppose at least that's step in the right direction).
UK aviation was just about right 15 years ago with NFT's and GFT's.
All that was need was the 5 hours in 13 months rule to stay current needed changing slightly to say a flight every 60 days to stay current on a life time licence.
I wouldn't even have minded paying an annual sub to CAA, say £20, to look after GA.
