Im sure whilst the tecnam is great to fly and very cheap as well, a bonus for any young budding pilot... it does tend to lead a little towards inexperience when you get to the time of your first job.

Ive just had a few pilots who were very hard to get insured as they had very little time on larger retractable/CSU or CSU aircraft, making it very difficult to insure them, which of course makes it very hard to employ them.

Out of curiosity, do the flying school actually recommend that new pilots try flying something a little more commercial during their trainging to get more realistic experience??? Or do they simply do it as cheap as possible to ensure they get the students, and give them the false hope that they are getting the best training for a commercial pilot??
