God forbid, but out of interest.
What happens if you use up all of your sittings or retakes for a particular exam.
Does the CAA keep you on record forever in a black folder. And thats it your dream is over you will never be allowed to be an airline pilot.
or do you just have to start again from scratch.

Mintfavour,
I think you would just have to resit the whole thing again, but there comes a point when the CAA tell you to do some mandatory retraining. I don't think the CAA have a black book (well I hope not............)

Concensus from the Prof. Flight Training show at Heathrow was that you'd have to resit -ALL- your exams again.
Bit of a pain if you've aced 13 of them and failed the 14th four times!
If someone is still not getting it after three attempts (unless there's something really screwy with the exam paper) I'd be questioning the groundschool - after all, before you do the exam they should be able to tell if you have a good chance of actually passing it.

I dont think it would be a problem with the groundschool if you failed 3 times, the groundschools are approved. I think if that were the case, the student should be questioning themselves.
