Hi Prop Pilot,

What an informative post, great!

I am still trying to catch up on all the implications of Part 61. However, I fully understand and support the rationale behind the higher training standards imposed, but with the price of a "proper" type rating sky rocketing like this, I am afraid the temptation will be all the greater for unscrupulous operators to cut corners but still rip off students. A particular pet hate of mine is “seat swapping” on a type rating, i.e. steep turn for you, one for you, one for you, done! And the high turnover rate currently prevailing in the contract sector only adds to the strain. Interesting times, indeed!
