Instructor Shortage.

So just how would you define a "good pilot" ????

Is it a pilot that can;

Always land the smoothest?
Maintain the closest tolerance on an instrument approach?
Turn knife edge onto final and roll out on the centre line?
Make all their radio calls exactly right?
Conduct a forced landing onto a football field and walk away?

I agree with 404, but some things just can't be taught and you can't put an old head on young shoulders no matter how much training you give them. Relevant experience is what counts
