Could it be, FIC101, that someone is helping you to not dig a bigger hole ??
Perhaps if you learn that a number of names on this thread have been around a long time that they may be more qualified to comment.
Basic flying training on basic aeroplanes hasn't and needn't change for a lot of sound reasons.
We don't have to have Garmin 2000 and diesel engines to turn out very competent students. This comes later.
Perhaps if you also remember that our basic training format owes a lot of its success to the system employed even further back by the civilian pre-WW2 German gliding schools. This was when they were prevented from developing powered aircraft under a decree from the Allies after WW1.
There wasn't and hasn't been any necessity to make drastic changes since. If it ain't broke, don't fix it........ It's a proven format.
If there had been, why would the Fleet Air Arm for example have continued to use Tiger Moths and Chipmunks for basic training well into the 70s ? Simply because they were the best aircraft in which to teach the BASIC skills so formulated in Ron Campbell's instructor Manual. You cannot simply leap into some high tech modern aIrcraft or particularly a simulator in this day and age and become "Ace of the Base" .......no matter how many games you can play on your iPhone !
