Perhaps it is mumbo jumbo, but it is important to be vigilent of these new ideas as a government can impose more requirements to improve safety at the expense of the vitality of the industry. In other words, over regulation improves safety by killing off industry...less flying...
But there is improvements that can be made to the training programs. In Canada, for years we concentrated on "spin recovery" As a matter of fact, about 6 hours of dual preparation was spent on preparing a student for a 3 minute testing element and it could not be identified that safety was improved. It was recognized by quite thorough analysis by our CAA that the focus should be on "spin recognition and avoidance" which does bring into play concepts such as situational awareness.
My original query was how better to recognize instructors as we are having that discussion now in Canada. Perhaps it can't be done but the discussion is worthwhile as the instructor plays an important role in achieving overall system safety..
