We are assuming that ofqual would know about flying requirements, so back to square one. Only a working pilot (or one who has worked) would know whether knowledge of the function of an SN-Wohler curve is useful or not in daily working life. Doesn't matter if you know how to convey that info to a student
I am not talking about whether the questions are factually correct (20% of the database is wrong), or have no mistakes or are even relevant. It's really whether they follow the LOs in the first place, and don't produce surprises for schools and students when it comes to taking the exams.
As Alex hints at - you cannot currently pass the exams on knowledge alone. Regrettably, but necessarily, you must give a nod to the question banks. As a result, high pass marks are actually suspicious rather than an indicator of excellence.
