For those BA & Cathay cadets who trained at Prestwick in the 1980/90s, they will recall their flying in the AS202 BRAVO, and the requirement under the UK CAA CAP509 bespoke BAe syllabus that PT5 included UPRT & the ability to fly the five aerobatic manoeuvres.
Once BA stopped their full sponsorship scheme, BAe revised the syllabus to simply comply with CAP509 for licence issue.
The famous quote from the then MD " there is no point making Rolls Royces when the airline industry simply want a Ford Escort".
2 hours of stall and spin awareness was the norm. At least the modular customer had 1 additional hour in the BRAVO, and were exposed the spinning & recovery techniques.
The Brownair Bandit crash ~ loss of control departing Leeds with A/H failure, was the catalyst for a CAA to rethink matters. Perhaps something better than a Ford Escort is needed after all?
No doubt the statisticians can work out the correlation between " the makes of cars" and the accidents related to this topic.
