Has pilot training got its knickers in a twist?
Interesting stuff Phil, thanks for your input.
So the learning objectives are being redefined, presumably to encourage flying schools to properly implement CBT (think MPL, as above).
Any info on this anywhere that is likely to satisfy my curiosity?
I have read many posts from different people saying that the theory syllabus needs updating.
I am qualified somewhat to comment on this as I have some experience of teaching, whereas many of the people responsible for teaching the theory and defining the requirements clearly do not.
There shouldn't be a question bank in my opinion, rather an especially prepared exam each time (easy to implement, trust me), just like exam boards operate.
P.S. the concept of 'competency based training' is an old concept in professional teaching, but a totally new concept in aviation.
Tells you something lol!
