Ten Plane Crashes That Changed Aviation

You realise, presumably, that there are exams that have to be passed to
qualify for a licence, as well as a test of the ability actually to fly
a plane. It is not really tenable to hold the view that it is possible
to pass the exams and test while knowing nothing about aviation.

True ... but it is possible to pass the exams without knowing much about
aviation. You only have to know enough to pass the exams, and that hardly
covers even a fraction of everything there is to know about aviation.
