Also pilots being trained under what are now called GAAP procedures- a unique Australian name- will be trained for class D which is used in most other modern aviation countries.
But, going on what's been posted before (with some degree of glee) the OAR will be introducing FAA D at present GAAPs. So, in fact, we'll just convert from 'unique Australian GAAP' to 'unique FAA D.'
Scratches head trying to work out the cost/benefit.
So, and this is a genuine question, because I don't know the answer: When you use the words
'most other modern aviation countries,' who is included?
Does this include the Dutch, Germans, French, Italians, Greeks, Irish, Singaporeans, South Africans; the list goes on and each of those (and many more) run pretty safe systems. Do all these guys operate FAA D, being in the category of
'most other modern aviation countries?'
If they don't then, by inference, you've consigned them to third-world status, because if they don't then they are not '
modern aviation countries.'
Can I please have a run-down of what constitutes
'most other modern aviation countries' that use FAA D? It's a legitimate question!
