OH dear ! dumming down
For fun I am lucky enough to teach at an airfield that has an oval "military" style CCT at 800ft the student quckly learns to fly the aircraft in a co-ordinated way with a stable rate of descent, turn and airspeed, despite the approach not being a long five mile final at one speed the approach is "stable".
For my day job I fly an airliner and an becoming increasingly concerned that the new pilots fresh out of the best traning establishments are no more than button pushers that I cant trust to land the aircraft on all but the least challenging Greek airports and never off a visual approach.
I cant help thnking that the lack of hand flying skill that is now becoming the norm in the airlines is a direct result of the early days in the CCT.
