Do you teach CPL/ATPL(F)/MPL students to become GA pilots flying C206s etc. in the bush (or anywhere else!), or do you teach them with the aim of flying as AoC/Airline pilots.
What on earth is the difference? The PPL phase teaches the basic skills. If the ab initio training has been completed correctly then adding complexity and all else, that has special skills, should be a straightforward addition of skills. I'm baffled how we could teach 'bush flying' in middle England or anywhere similar.

Incidentally even in airline world we teach to ignore the PAPIs below 200 feet (within reason!)
And so it should be in a C150 and mostly it is.
