I know of several examiners who have jacked it in.
How to change a simple system that worked for years into a minefield of hoops and obstacles .....
Will your PPL holder be any safer for all this ? Probably worst off with less experienced FE's .... this is bureaucracy gone mad !
I have 1400 hours instructing (6000+ total), give up my time for almost 'charity' to pass something back into the world of aviation on my precious rare weekends off from work and find the whole world of GA since JAR to have 'lost the plot' of what they are trying to achieve ....
Under CAA rules 10 years ago, which were simple and practical working as a FI or FE was a pleasure ..... many of my colleagues in the commercial world who instruct part time are all of the same option of 'is it worth it anymore' ???????????
CAA = Cancel All Aviation
CAA = Campain Against Aviation
Is flying any safer for all these changes ?
