It also would weed out any cadets who were truly scared by flying.
But now, I am not worried by anything the atmosphere throws at me. I know I can fly it or get away from it.
How can a cadet with no actual spin experience or actual, real twin prop engine failure experience, possibly have that deep confidence going straight from a SEP onto an Airbus or Boeing?
They're dropped from the MPL, they go SEP to 320 or 737 sim. I did the regular ATPL route, flew an MEP and did real life single engine go arounds. Although spins are no longer a requirement, some schools might deliver them as an add on UPRT course, not sure.
