Some of the last few posts are demonstrating how some have no idea about how the industry and training system works post type rating. I think its best these people not posting anything.
Absolutely! The Safety Pilot issue is separate from the problem of P2F. Having a Safety Pilot is part of the prescribed process for flying a new aeroplane. For example, the CAA recommends that even TREs returning to the aircraft type after a twelve month break initially fly with a safety pilot, having "refreshed" their skills in the sim. (Standards Document 43, 26.2).
Can we please move on to a proper debate about P2F?
