Nine exams for the PPL

[Treadstone1]

FCL.025 Theoretical knowledge examinations for the issue of licences
(2) Applicants shall only take the examination when recommended by the approved
training organisation (ATO) responsible for their training.

How and to whom do you recommend?

Is there yet another form/process I don't know about?

[BillieBob]

You make the recommendation to the examiner in accordance with the procedure in the relevant Training Manual, which will have been approved by the competent authority. Presumably, to determine that the appropriate elements have been completed for each exam, you will first have to decide what proportion of the 100 hours theoretical knowledge training is appropriate to each subject.

Hi Billiebob,

If its a RF, what Training Manual?

Procedure for an RF

RF: "How long did you read the books?"
Student: "Dunno - maybe 100 hours?"
RF: "Right then, off you go!"

If its a RF, what Training Manual?

Your original post referred to FCL.025 and ATOs. Until April 2015 RFs may continue unapproved as they did under JAR-FCL, so they do not have to make any recommendation. When and if they become an ATO they will have to produce a Training Manual with the relevant details.
