Differences between Soviet and Western aircraft types
I am doing a research on training system differences between Soviet and Western aircraft types. I have a question for instructors who have trained Russian pilots. What were the main difficulties you have faced while training them? Pick at least 2 points and explain why you chose them.
1. English language
2. Mentality differences
3. Cockpit navigation differences
4. High university education has too extended learning program which does not concentrate on piloting
5. Just local market understanding
6. The lack of motivation
7. Number of cabin crew (as it is known, Tu-154 has 4-5 people crew compared to Boeing 737 2 people team).
