Flying Instructors & Examiners A place for instructors to communicate with one another because some of them get a bit tired of the attitude that instructing is the lowest form of aviation, as seems to prevail on some of the other forums!

Finally, a CAA webinar about professional licensing

https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_...eid=cd48d2d739

The CAA say it is only for ATOs, try your luck!

....As part of this series, we have arranged a webinar for Approved Training Organisations, which will take place on 7 December 2020 between 13:00 and 14:00 where we will cover:
  • An outline of the new regulatory landscape from 1 January 2021 and its impact on UK flight crew licence holders and training organisations;
  • The key changes and actions ATOs should be thinking about in preparation for the end of the transition period, including impact on freedom of the air; and
  • Answers to your key questions on issues of relevance to ATOs.
You can register here to confirm your place and the Zoom link to the webinar will be emailed to those with a confirmed place. Given the imminence of the end of the transition period, we anticipate a significant number of participants at each session, which will also be recorded.

While we will make every effort to accommodate as many people as possible, numbers will be limited and so we would encourage you to register as early as possible.

So, DTO out in the cold? A lot of people start their professional careers with a PPL gained at a DTO. I can always listen to the recording, I suppose. I tuned in to the previous webinar and it asked more questions than it answered.

Where are the professional exams coming from or do they intend to keep using the EASA databank?

Amusingly, they appear to be planning to use the EASA Question Banks, the mumbled justification along the lines that the CAA paid for a large part of the earlier QBs to be written. Refuse to answer the question when they are asked if they have a licence from EASA so to do.

The entire approach of simply adopting the aircrew regulation into UK Law is a quick fix that required little or no effort or thought. To effect any amendment will require an Act of Piarliament. What was wrong with the pre JAR system of the UK Law simply saying the CAA shall issue licences as it thinks fit. The EASA documents could have become CAPs which the CAA could have amended at will. Now the entire industry will be micromanaged through Westminster, sheer madness. Is this the work of laughing boy Shapps or a lesser mortal?
