The lack of refresher on return from NFTC for people of Kenny's era is an interesting point. As far as I remember, the "official" word on the street at the time was that it would be pointless to refresh AD-bound students on the T1 at Valley, them having come from an aircraft with kit/hud etc and going to an aircraft with kit/hud etc.The real reason,
afaik, was that 19 was packed to the rafters and they didn't have any spare capacity. I'm surprised the report implies that this policy wasn't sanctioned by the powers that be.
Whilst I don't think that the above had any real bearing on the accident, it is indicitive of a system with not enough money where corners are being cut. Let's all be sure we don't let that happen in our own areas of responsibility.
