Those exams are just boxes you tick off as you progress towards a license. They mean nothing. They are set up as a hoop to jump through by some bureaucrat who needs a form to file so he can keep adding to his collection of filing cabinets and filing clerks.

The flight test is where the rubber meets the road. Period. If you are trolling through past exam marks to evaluate a potential hire you are wasting your time and you are likely eliminating a lot of good candidates. Using exam results to eliminate potential employees would appear that you are demonstrating that you have no clue about 'human resources' or realistic hiring practises.

It occured to me that if these flight tests are not really all that hard, why do people fail them? And why do some fail them more than once?

Despite the denials, if people would take a few minutes to review the FAA study I think they would see there is a corelation.

There apparently is a CD of all the Safety Newsletters out with a search function. Perhaps someone who has one can post a link
