The JAR-OPS 1.945 states clearly how training shall be done. 15 days is the maximum between the TR course and line flying under supervision! Period!
I don't know how EMA Training can justify scheduling us once a while for some touch'n go's in the simulator, and still be within these regulations?? OK..If they do it ONCE..Alright..But for 5 months??
I am sure the guys down at the JAA in The Netherlands were not thinking about this tricks when they wrote the regulation..And I am sure they would like to know about it..Then probably EMA Training would be a little more helpful..
