Hello international hog driver,
First, you must have a training plan. It’s very important that the trainee is provided with a clear idea of the training process, giving him guidance on his priorities in learning and explaining how it will operate and, in the first place, make use of the safety co-pilot. PNF duties during early stages is a good beginning to give him more opportunities to improve his basic skills with ATC terminology and communication, documentation, panel scan flows, and etc, and therefore he can progressively organize his workload. The qualified F/O must be carried until when you’re confident in the trainee’s ability to land safely the airplane, operate the radio… at least.
Well, I used this plan during many years teaching very low-hour pilots on 737 and IMHO worked very well... and I never flew SP.
