Therefore, an instructor should (at a minimum) have a level of competency and knowledge appropriate to teach to that standard. Surely you agree.
I would if I agreed with the standard.
However, iIf you're asking for the minimum to be raised, then that's another issue.
That is the issue. I don't blame the low houred instructor. I blame the authorities as I said in my first post. I think that it is as much detriment to the instructors as it is to the student to think that they have a right to be doing what they are doing, thanks to the authority. It's a joke.
It's a bit like chalk and cheese to compare this to primary school teaching but if we must, would you be happy for an inexperienced teacher to teach your child in primary school if they themselves are still brushing up the finer points the bunsen burner?
I'm not suggesting the equivelent of a Phd. Maybe just puberty would be a good start.
A lot is retained from your flight training so it should be good quality.
There is a much better guarantee of this if the bar is raised.
