As a result, this training has the effect of crowding out other events, and the pacing of the sim sessions has become even more chopped up as the instructor pushes through all the boxes with event, position reset, event, positions reset. It is becoming increasingly hard to absorb the lessons from one event before moving on to the next one.
Wow. My operator added a full day for recurrent and initial training UPRT. its a non jeopardy; train to proficiency event. 2-3 hours briefing, 4h in the sim and a solid debrief.
Sorry to hear it's not like that everywhere...
