Could I please ask why, in the last 5 years or so, any sembelance of "T" ie training seems to have been completely lost when talking about the use of the simulator; now all "C" and
all training.
The greatest, greatest tool for showing what can go wrong in so many ways (ie training) and all it's used for is as an instrument of fear (checking.)
Correct me if I'm wrong but sim's were largely/partly developed to stop airlines doing excessive things in real aircraft during training and then wondering when things didn't QUITE go as expected aircraft pranged and crew died??
Are we all so **** hot these days we don't need any more training after the initial sim training?
Surely better to check pilots on the line for proficiency and use the sim to show a whole stack of unexpected scenarios??
I would call that a far beter use of resources but what the
would I know - I'm just a driver who could benefit from some broader training, luckily I'm the only one!!
