Base training in SIM or in the aircraft?
Attention all of you who know more than I:
This discussion came up today during cruise. At on TRTO (airline owned) you can do the base training in the simulator, via the other school (private owned) it has to be done in the aircraft.
Same aircraft type, the very same simulator being used for the type rating training, length of course the same, both TRTO's JAA-land.
Why?
