The point of this post is not to set a one way only method of operating.
Its to set a document which sets a range of methods which are acceptable to be used in a SEP. If the individual uses one of these methods. There should be no retraining during or post flight.
To be honest SAS your not the type of person that this type of document is going to affect anyway by the sounds of it.
And the well they could always change schools means that the person has wasted money on the industrys problem of lack of standards. There isn't a reporting system to maintain standards so the person is a couple of hundred quid out of pocket for no gain. Pissed off and disinterested in flying any more.
There also seems to be this miss understanding that people actually change their method of operating just because on a checkride the instructor says "no you should really do it this way"
They nod they smile think " Aye right I passed my PPL doing this method" and as soon as the Instructor has buggered off they continue doing exactly as they did before because they know that the next instructor they have a flight with is going to tell them to do it another way. Once someone has over 100hours I doudt very much if they are going to change. And your not going to do it with 1 hour every 2 years. I am sure you have your local owners who cause mayhem every time they fly. They come in for there 1 hour get talked to for a hour afterwards get thier license signed and next week same as usual. And if you refuse to sign there log book they just drive up the road to Perth or Dundee and do it there and again mayhem the next week. Result for flight safety NIL.
From personal experence getting rid of certain american habits it takes quite a bit of structured training to permantly remove habits ingrained from intial training.
There is a problem in the industry with a them and us attitude with PPL's who the large majority avoid flying with an instructor. Or if they do they stick to the same one so the don't have to suffer being lectured about stuff they already know.
