DFC unfortunatly most organisations don't give a flying toss. Its lost revenue so they don't care.

Its more luck than judgment that an instructor isn't expected to do PFL's and Steep turns there first lesson after checkout on a new type.

Unless the organisation has to do standisation training as part of a contract or OAT, CABAIR type training it isn't going to happen.

All you need to do is look at FFF's thread and you can see whats the norm. Personally I have had to teach the nastier parts of the syllabus after 30mins on type, but i had 800hrs plus instructing behined me so it worked ok. I agree I wasn't happy with it but what do you do? I know you can come out with all the stuff about your PIC you dictate what you do or don't do.

Personally all this new regs coming in are great they give FI's legal boundarys that their employers can't get round. BUt it will cause major grief while the old dinosaurs come to terms with the fact that they are expected to run a tight ship with no screwing around. It can only be a good thing for the customers and Instructors. But it will cause major hassels for the school owners.

Next hopefully there will be a FTL scheme to stop 14 hour days and sort out all the !!!!e about doing plus 100 hours a month.
