There are a couple of EASA but non EU states, Iceland, Lichenstein, Norway and Switzerland. Overall EASA is IMHO a massive improvement on its predecessors. The big issue with Paco's rewriting of the ATPL learning objectives and exams is that history suggests that, despite the best intentions, the system will mess it up initially, and then slowly improve it to a workable level. Question banks are in my view regrettable but necessary, because there are so many questions so badly written, and so loosely referenceable to equally badly written LOs, that without them you wouldn't stand a chance. They stand as an indictment to one area where EASA have not done well. If the ATPL exams were audited by
Ofqual, as I think they certainly should be, they would have a fit.
