Mmmmmm ...
...I
t is quite possible that he may learn some bad stuff from the veteran Captain.
Yes .... that is a distict possibility ..... anything is a possibility and that is a problem with life ... that anything MIGHT happen!
However .... let us assume that any company that is flying 412s on a contract is professional ... and therefore subject to a Checking and Training scheme which has been approved ... the chances of them employing a misfit to fly as a captain on their machines is minimal. If that be the case then I would suggest that it is more likely that the "experienced Captain" would teach techniques that are beneficial rather than bad.
I would suggest there is greater likely hood of a "new chum" teaching himself "bad stuff" by being let loose alone in the R44 than being supervised by another ...... and with the way this industry works ... those with a 412 rating just might find it easier to translate that into a better future than those with just the R44.
Now I only have 4000+ hrs in the 412 BUT in that machine I can do lots of different work that you cannot do in a 'robbie' .... if fact I am not even rated in the wee beastie ... so you might claim I don't know .... BUT I'll bet my plan would work out be better in the long run
Cheers
