Fist years ago we got MCC. A course which is ACTUALLY useful.
Then like 7 yrs ago the JOC. Which in my opinion stuff you learn in one of first sessions anyway during TR.
Then we got the APS which is ALMOST a whole TR and costs in many cases almost the same. With result. You just have some certificate which is NOT a TR anyway.
. 🤢. Pfff.
To quote an old hand when I was in my youth “IF YOU THINK TRAINING IS EXPENSIVE WAIT UNTIL YOU HAVE AN ACCIDENT”
Under CAP509 prior to JAR and EASA, the UK CAA approved a CPL/IR syllabus for British Aerospace Flying College, Prestwick where, what is now described as UPRT, was taught together with spinning and the 5 basic aerobatic manoeuvres. The AS202 Bravo, a wonderful Swiss aerobatic aircraft was used for those under training.
Not only did it give confidence, in the most unlikely event an unusual attitude were to occur, then your training would “kick in”.
For those having a bitch and a moan simply fail to appreciate the benefit delivered by this new (reintroduced) course. Read the first paragraph again.......
