[QUOTE="Analoguesat, post: 1107800, member: 176362"] They need to do something - there are major problems with the set up of the system at the moment. I passed my Foundation last summer simply because the practical element had been removed. I never bothered to get my licence beforehand simply because it wasnt practical to get to the sessions for the practical part. The nearest clubs that did them were in Edinburgh or Newcastle & there is no way I was ever going to drive an hour and a half each way for an hours session on a foul autumnal or winter night after a long day at work for an hours practical. As soon as the exam went online only I did the studying & sailed through. Having had a look at the Intermediate & Full there is a lot of what is basically irrelevant stuff in there. Hardly anyone is going to build their own rigs these days so the building & electronics theory can all go immediately. Modern day practise where you can go and buy a cheap Chinese rig and get on air with no building - concentrate on licensing & good operating practise.. [/QUOTE]
