Might I also add that we are our own worst enemy. As over achievers, we showed up fully prepared for training. The instructors had to show they knew more so that raised the bar.....consequently, over multiple iterations we got to questions like...”How many ridges on the trim button?” in the never ending game of stump the dummy. It became unruly. I can’t even remember the last time any type of oral question was asked during CQ....or might I add....very little during IQ with the “new” training. Overall...the new way is not only easier(admittedly) but, more importantly...more rational, logical, and real world....I’ll say it again....we aren’t being hired to be “test pilots”

Totally agree…except the Vol. 2 is terrible. Absolutely zero deep-dives into the systems. A more detailed Vol. 2 would go a long way for those of us who want more systems knowledge.

CFI you could take as long as you wanted or needed to prepare and if you fail just do it again. No limit on do overs.
Wrt your comment on “no limit on do overs” while you definitely can legally, it will be a huge black mark if you need to re take it more than once or (maybe) twice
