Of course this only works if students have enough skills to fly a C172....
Airbus' new policy is to start the first full sim in direct law then turn on the flight control computers through alternate law and into normal. Was back into normal about 10 minutes into the Sim.
The biggest issue with training in this day and age is
1. Quality of instructors.
2. Time restrictions with resources.
Both are inadequate.
