Umm snarek what were the IFR Lear crew in my hypothetical doing that was 'illegal'.
I'm as fallible as the next guy but that example of a departure with a young inexperienced trainee was pretty much, in general terms, what I have experienced first hand.
Not knocking the excellent fellas at SQ Flying College at all...just a generic example of what CAN go wrong.
I see in your post above you don't even support mandatory transponder below 8500 in E....so in my hypothetical they wouldn't even have got the RA in the first place!!!
Chuck.
