Though obviously a strong sales pitch, thankyou Left Wing for the first thorough, yet readable description of MPL I've come across. Though i've a few reservations on how well some real time components will be covered/substituted by this form of training, there must be huge potential to be accessed through advances in ICT and sim development. Surely its just a logical extension of what has already occured over the last couple of decades in commercial aviation worldwide and is comparable to similar training developments in many vocations, from teaching traindrivers to surgeons.
Lodown's "I would argue that hours in GA aircraft are far more pertinent for GA flying than hours in an airline aircraft are for airline flying." (Just in case you are wondering we are not related!) sums up the justification for MPL in one sentence. I'd argue that the gap is now widening dramatically.
Krusty.. there are hours and then there are hours
Jus my thoughts
