A bunch of wild opinions, factually incorrect, and deliberately made as dramatic as possible
.
Hate to disappoint you, but for some years now the product has been nowhere as good as it was in the 70's and 80's, and as I said
“few and perhaps notable exceptions” my experience supports that view.
Sure there has always been those below par, but these days it seems if you have the $$ you can get your ticket in a cereal pack! There continues to be sequences that get a tick in the box, but the student has never done. Why is that so?
I would probably insert "Some pilots" for "A pilot".
Sure it was a broad based statement, but I suggest it is close to the mark and many senior instructors I have spoken with over the past year or two have agreed with me. If you have been around for a while, you would know!
Please tell me how many schools have their CFIs fly with their instructors and students on a regular basis? How else do you monitor standards? Many tests are a joke and no ATO should be permitted to test his own students, especially above PPL.
Raise the bar and make it harder for schools to get >CPL training approvals
