Oh dear -some faulty assumptions corrected
"I'd much rather be in a tutor with a qsp than in a vigilant with a cgi when the proverbial hits the fan. simply put, if a person has earnt service wings then they have demonstrated an adequate (by military aviation) standard. " Says Mugwuffin with a slight bias..............
FACTS for mugwuffin
Many CGI's and VRT's are exceptionally well qualified and have ATPL's.
Some Vigilant VGS guys are also qsp's in their RAF day job.
The two most recent fatal mid airs have involved qsp's not CGI's.
And one for FJJP............
I've done hundreds of AE sorties, without incident, and have an RAF Flight Safety award thus your somewhat dismissive remarks are incorrect.
As Fitter 2 says............
The new draft AIC would not have brought much new information to the two qsp's involved in the St Athan mid air. But if CAA feel such a pressing need, then why not include details of all VGS Vigilant equipped units ? Any good reason ?
And Wholigan,..........
Good to hear your high standards, I fully support high standards.
