Also, let’s consider another simple fact. If any of You is a member of those Airbus discussion groups on social networks like facebook, etc.. You probably have noticed that many times low timers come up with extremely basic questions on airplane handling, descent management, and so on. Ok, there are a lot of Flight Sim pilots around (by the way I am also a passionate user of flight simulators so respect!) but the “real” ones also come up with those types of questions. This is very symptomatic of cadets flying with unprepared LTCs who probably know how to do their Captain job very well, but do not possess the required KSA to teach a freshly graduated pilot how to get from FL360 to the runway without leaving them with 100 doubts. Why is that? Because a proper full TRI course followed by hundreds of hours of briefings, debriefings, briefings, debriefings, will allow you to master the way you transmit KSA to the trainees in a safe environment (freeze button is there) and get you ready to pump things up in the real thing, later on, with full fare paying pax. The amount of “brain space” needed to teach will be vastly reduced as You are used to the job and you can focus now to “properly” teach in a dynamic environment. My 2c based on experience folks.
