Folks,
This year and 2020 (FAA and EASA) will finally see the requirement for expanded flight envelopes for all sims (for upset recovery) and a much greater emphasis on manual flying skills v. "managing automation", as the transition period expires.
Hopefully, most other authorities will follow the example.
The new FAA flying training syllabus, when published, will be interesting, CPL/ATR could well required an aerobatic component --- something that a few airlines with cadet schemes have always required.
Tootle pip!!
