Gulli has been telling us of how common it is for Sim Students arriving without full understanding of the avionics onboard the aircraft they fly in the course of their employment.
I saw that in the Sim as well.
I also see a common thread in too many crashes where Pilots refuse to use the full capabilities of the aircraft and insist upon hand flying the machine when they need to reduce their workload.
That is a direct byproduct of the lack of proper training, poor SOP's, and a failed SMS.....which all can be laid at the feet of Management.
Pilots....Line Crews and Training Captains have a role to play in seeking Industry Best Practices for their own Operations and that requires looking outside their own to others to seek those better ways of doing business.
So....a question is why is this "new" training "new" an "unique"?
It is for sure needed and shall prove to be beneficial.
