How was it before JAR?
Hi,
I was hoping someone could maybe explain how flight training worked before JAR came in. I understand the predecessor of modular training was something called self-improver? I would be interested to know what the steps were in this and how it differed from the current system.
Cheers,
Vore

The main headline difference was the time and money aspect.
700 hours needed for issue.
More to it than that obviously and for a while there were oddities like the BCPL but real life was 700 hours to be employable. Great fun it was too.

Unless you did an approved CAP509 full-time integrated course. In which case I think 250 hours was the requirement. Most students were either partially or fully sponsored by the likes of BA, BMI, Aer Lingus etc. then came 9/11.
JAR like anything to do with our friends in Europe is a typical compromise and botch-up, of course the UK obeys the rules but elsewhere they get ignored. EASA is supposed to make this binding law. Hm? I don't I have a lot of faith.
The authorities had a opportunity to make a good job of the changes but screwed it up. One of the reasons that the JAA ATPL exams are so poor both in terms of English grammer "like wot I rite" and content is having too many cooks making the porridge.
