CAA's definition of EFATO
Have a look in your 2005 flight examiner's handbook, glossary of terms in the front.
For those of you who don't have the handbook I'll post the CAA definition later.

Okay then. According to the CAA handbook:
GPS - Ground Position System
and
EFATO - Engineer failure After Take-Off
It made the CAAFU axaminer laugh when I showed it to him. He said he was going to have it corrected.

If you are going to growl about typo's then maybe the CAAFU representative should have been called an "examiner" - unless they happen to fail a lot of people.

I'd be interested to hear of a solution.
My guess is that the problem was caused by typists, who are not pilots, writing what they THINK it (probably) says.
Then, if it even gets a proof reading, the reader will read what they think it SHOULD say.
How many times have you written a document - read it, read it again, re-read it - then shown it to a colleague who spots 1500 mistakes?
