Training Development
alf,
My point is that the list of topics contained in EU-OPS, having been covered in initial, then serve no real purpose. To insist that the list is covered again over a training cycle serves no real purpose.
My point about 'training development' is that I distinguish between the design of training courses and their delivery. The UK system of accreditation covered delivery but is lacking on design. But f you have a weak product in the first place, no amount of skill in delivery will compensate. Many of the criticisms in this thread relate to the design aspect.
I agree with you about mentoring. However, for captains to be CRM mentors will require a significant shift in attitude and a raising of standards.
And, many years ago, I did a project looking at accident rates in a single aircraft type. Time on type was not significant. It was the 3000-4000 total time guys that were most represented in the stats.
