12 Clarification on scoring

Proposal from

José Luis Esteban, delegate from Spain.

Proposal title

Clarify that the scoring system must be approved by CIMA.

Existing text

Section 10, main body:

4.34 SCORING
4.34.1 The scoring system to be used shall be approved by CIMA and attached to the local regulations.

New text

4.34 SCORING
4.34.1 The scoring system to be used shall be approved by CIMA and attached to the local regulations. The scoring must be performed by strictly applying the procedures and formulas found in the approved task catalogue.

Reason

Since 1012 all task definitions must be approved by CIMA as part of the Task Catalogue. The purpose of this rule is to prevent changes in the nature of the approved tasks, allowing pilots to train on a common ground. Changing the scoring formula in a task sheet is a change in the scoring system which changes the task's nature and is, therefore, prohibited.

This is not new, but seems to need additional clarification.
