It's my opinion...and it's going to stay that way...no answer.
What I will say is that I saw a bunch of very qualified FAA flight instructors going through a conversion course at FlightSafety International in Florida.
Every one of them - to a man - said that the "CAA" system was better...and changed their own ways accordingly.
Also, studies by the FAA into "wheels up landings", in the training environment, in the year 2000 show that there was a qualified flight instructor on board every single one of them.
The FAA are looking for ways to improve the quality of their 'certified flight instructors'.....does that help you form an opinion?
