Time to Revamp Aerodrome Certification?
Aerodrome certification seems like both a mature system and an emerging concept. I acknowledge that while it has been in place in states like Australia for twenty years, some states are still working through the necessary regulatory development and implementation. Regardless, I’d like to go out on a limb and suggest that the concept is underdone. It takes an overly simplistic view of aerodromes and, as such, can hamper innovation and development.
Crowd-sourced Certifications
I've just been mucking around with a new Internet service called Smarterer. That's not a typo, it really is Smarter-er. I guess, in a nutshell, it's an online quiz creator which is meant to help you quantify and showcase your skills. The twist in this implementation is that the quizzes are crowd-sourced. Anyone can write questions for the quiz and thus over time, the group interested in the topic defines the content and the grading of the quiz.
