Isn't presenting already determined routes part of the planning process itself, removes the need for the student to at least add up and read a map in the first place so therefore this is removing some of the planning element.
I agree entirely. However, if the company has decided that the CPL x/c qualifier routes to be followed are the ones published in the ops manual, would you allow a student to take a company aircraft on a non approved route, not published in the ops manual ?
What would the implications be on the instructor if an incident took place and the instructor was found to be allowing a student to operate outside the ops manual ?
FFF - I agree with the comments of your last post -
