ATPL Flight Planning exam Suspended

[farmer dan]

Hi All,
Long time listener, first time caller. Studying ATPL Flight planning and went to book my exam on ASL exams yesterday but on their home page they have this message:

'Until further notice, the delivery of ATPL AFPA exams is on hold. For those candidates who have already booked, you will be contacted if your session changes.'

Did a pprune search but to not avail.

Anyone know why this happened or what will happen with the exam?

Thanks in advance and hope I haven't posted this in the wrong forum.

ring ASL and ask :confused:

[farmer dan]

Already contacted them but they didnt even know the reason.

Apparently they have run out of daft questions and are awaiting a resupply.:}

Maybe they finally learnt that there really is such a thing as a stupid question.

PS Sorry I don't have anything constructive to add. I know nothing of this issue.

I recall hearing Noel Lamont say, years ago, something to the affect that, "any practical relevance of ATPL theory to the actual operation of an aeroplane is pure coincidence".

I did my flight planning study with Noel :)

I did my flight planning study with Noel :)

Ditto, Nav as well. Circa '84 & '85. He was a top bloke. GREAT stories! :8

Love it!

Does anyone know why the exam is down? I had planned to study flight planning next.

Perhaps the long-awaited and much talked about change from the B727 to the B767 as the aircraft of choice is in the offing.

Especially now as they are slowly being phased out. :}

Just a thought - no special insight here.

Love it :ok: Going from the 727 that hasn't operated RPT for what? The last 10 years? To a type that shortly wont be operating RPT :cool:

Perhaps they should base the exam on the westwind.
