"Still the toughest job around, 200+/- hr cadets in a Lear, initally without a Simulator, the endorsement was usually at night, stalls, steep turns and rapid descents from 35000 to 10000, frightent me spitless, cadets were terrified although few would admit as is their way."
Know what you mean Greybeard, back in 78 I used to do the same thing off the Malay coast but in a 737. No simulator then either. Most of those lads are now senior management or A380 Captains. Ces't la Vie
