How:
1. Can a situation be tolerated where neither pilot operating in a control seat be qualified (as in deemed proficient) for the activity being undertaken?
Why:
1. Would you not for the purposes of assessment, have a qualified Examiner operating as pseudo student.
I put this exact question to CASA shortly after the accident. My partner was Martin Scott, the Chief Pilot flying from the right hand seat that day. CASA's response was that if they used pseudo students it made it too easy for the person being assessed. They also stated that it is perfectly acceptable practice for CASA to be assessing the right hand seat pilot, whilst that pilot is assessing the left hand seat pilot.
