The Senators are making some pertinent enquiries into this CASA mess

and while their at it, maybe they should be making some enquiries

about the contentious ASIC card as well.

Cheers

Cripes mate, be careful up there and all the best. Cheers

Hi all and thanks to all that have taken time to express their views

May I very kindly say when posting views on this subject matter please

be professional and do not post any personal direct comments towards me

But there is more to tell.

I can inform all readers that the RAA assessment

that I did undertake failed me after completing only one question, that was all

I did one question and about to start the second.

Guys can I very politely say the RAA assessment site has problems and I have alerted

the RAA Technical folk of some flaws.

May I also suggest that being ON CALL has certain disadvantages to those good

folk sitting the RAA L1 3 hour assessment.

Be good

Cheers

I have now had time to give the matter of the L1 assessment thing

some considerable thought. Personally in my opinion It needs to be replaced

and at the same time get rid of the developer of the web site and

for the RAA to ask for their money back

As I do many in service on line courses and this again is one

of the worst I have had anything to do with.

However lets go forward

Why is there a need for a time limit on the 50 questions?

For what purpose does a time limit do, other than being an exam,

test or for that matter an assessment.

And for what purpose is this an assessment, but for no

other reason it can be suggested to maintain ones own aircraft up to and not

including a 100 hourly, what rational is in this timed 50 questions?

There needs to be Something better ... and may I suggest one.

One of the best on line training couses or pre course material

that I have done recently is a FIRST AID COURSE. Though

PARASOL.

As with others in my government department I have to have

Currency every two years, than I suggest the RAA has a look at

the Parasol application and now this other organisation approaches

on line learning.

Their course is well structured in individual sections dealing with

Separate medical conditions just as I would imagine maintaining

Recreational light aircraft study is divided into individual sections

and chapters of reference.

There is no time limit in the Parasol online course and one works

though the material at their own pace.

With the Parasol course it allows more that one attempt at each

section, and as each section is passed, the applicant can go

onto the next section in order or choose another.

The RAA L1 assessment system allows three hours. Well we are all busy people

and quite often good folk may not have three hours to spare, things

do happen that may need their immediate attention. With the PARASOL

on line training if one has to leave, the online training can be picked

back up at a latter time until the online training or workbook is complete.

So for me that's a big cross for the RAA in how this trial has been presented.

The word assessment should be replaced with perhaps with the word

workbook and that's where it should be, an open book study

of the revelent subject material, not if you don't pass come back

in 3 months, or be the subject of remedial action, as explained

in the RAA assessment pre reading.

This is not applying first aid in saving someone's life, this is a

relatively low key matter, so one can only maintain his aircraft.

So why all the restrictions

By the way how much is RAA paying to develop this on line

Assessment/bullshit.

Perhaps others may have a different view.

Cheers
