Actually, I tend to agree with it to a certain extent. Transport Canada's stance is that a professional in a charter fight situation should be able to get to grips with graphs quickly, while acknowledging that there might be a certain amount of familiarity from type rating courses, but I agree with the principle, especially when there are no type ratings for light fixed wing aircraft. After all, a graph is a graph to a certain extent - the essential point is knowing what the graph is helping you achieve, rather than treating the graph as an end in itself. I don't see a big problem as long as the graphs concerned are based on general principles and the students are trained properly.
But I agree with Richard about the questions. Just don't get me started.....
