@Bagoongathipon Yes i agree with what you have said...and its not just the AlSIM training that we got under that particular instrutor. He also voluntarily gave us classes on IF flying. That was the time when CA did not have any CFI...and though the course representatives pressed for classes / ALSIM sessions, the mgmt did not do anything about it
. Finally it was this ex PAL Av FI who went out of his way and made sure the guys who were getting delayed between flts (esp the ones who did not fly their 1st solo yet) got to fly in the ALSIM and the ones stuck in the IF phase had some valuable IF flts also. (He used to come into the dorm at odd hrs and pull out the guys who were getting delayed for the solo to do some sorties on the ALSIM
) As i mentioned above he also spent time sometimes till 12 midnight teaching us the theory part of the IF phase.
Things now have certainly changed for the better...and sadly in the process we lost a few good FIs...but thats the past...
Cheers.
