..... I have spoken to a well known flying school where I can be tested after a couple of hours tuition.
From the BMFA R/C Acheivement scheme news:
'At the BMFA Full Council meeting in May earlier this year, a vote was passed that effectively prohibits achievement scheme tests being conducted by examiners working in commercial model flight training schools. It prevents them testing their own pupils and or those of other instructors working at the same school.
This doesn’t necessarily put an end to testing taking place at training schools full stop, it’s just that from now on the test will have to be conducted by an external examiner i.e. not one who is employed or associated with the school for gain.....'
Does that mean Club Examiners cannot test individuals that have learnt to fly at the Club, or are the BMFA only discriminating against commercial Instructors/Examiners?
