Absolutely right. Training and practise needs to be improved

@vilas, yes I don't know when trainers stopped checking that pilots could handle emergencies without running back to their Mums in tears. Years ago if you didn't make the grade, you didn't become a pilot. This seems to have changed ?

Hi iceman50, apologies if I misquoted you. Pprune software keeps dropping my quote boxes, so I keep them as short as possible. Anyway; it only takes about 2 seconds to say "ready for wind-shear drill?", or even just ask "Ready?", and by doing so you will remove any startle.

Hi Nick 1, if you are referring to my post, I am not saying it was, sorry. My point was that things could be forgotten.
