Slightly off thread, but germane to the alphabet soup that is recreational flying licences, how do we get anybody to sign up for flying training within a system that instructors find confusing? Furthermore, what other recreational activity requires 9 exams? Three worked perfectly well back in the day. I have this forlorn hope that the CAA might use Brexit as an opportunity to repatriate recreational licensing and bring some sanity to the business but, as I'm in the latter half of my sixth decade, I don't expect to see meaningful change during what's left of my instructional career. So sad.
