Changing face of aviation

Thinking back, it used to be the case in times gone by that if somebody developed a slightly different shape winglet, this was wrongly...

Has pilot training got its knickers in a twist?

The role of Ofqual isn't to know about the subjects for which they regulate exams.

They do not need to know about any of the academic or vocational qualifications which they regulate.

I haven't got any flying qualifications yet, so I very much fall into the category of an ambitious hopeful taking a look at what's on offer.
