is alot better than previous years. Still pretty shocking though. Just over 50% of rating issued compared to cpl issue, and quite a few of the rating issued will be experenced pilots moving fleets.

The statistics the caa does publish seemed to be designed to be totally useless

Understatement of the year!

I don't understand the objection to making the stats. open; schools should be pepared to publish and justify their data. If it was presented to the CAA for validation and granted or refused a 'kite mark', that should surely be better than the current system?

The amount of data garnered at application must be used for something, or is it, as suggested, of the old school? The civil service touch that is neither Civil nor Service any longer.

Some fascinating numbers in there - that there are less private than professional licences being issues does not look healthy for recreational flying, whilst I can't quite work out why three ATPL holders got issued with IMC ratings?
