I honestly don't know where we are going to end up by following those principles and I praise those operators who still manage to keep the bar high regardless of how expensive it is.
A good example is competency in max crosswind landings during both type rating and re-currency simulator training sessions. Many low experience pilots fear crosswind landings; yet their boxes are ticked off after two or three landing attempts if they are lucky and it's on to the next sequence in the syllabus.
They lose confidence quickly especially as we all know it takes real pure flying skill to be able to consistently nail a good crosswind landing without screaming tyres and being jerked sideways. It takes at least ten landings on maximum crosswinds in the simulator before some new pilots get the hang of the de-crabbing technique. These can be done from one mile final or five mile final using re-positioning after touch down. Yet few syllabus will allow the half-an-hour of time needed for practice until certified competent.
