The African Dude and wirefly84. Fortunately you went through CTC when they had the money and quality to spend. Your courses were complete and you had good training. So
Unfortunately the standard has dropped since. CTCNZ was not making money and there were some severe cuts in the training. The new version 10 syllabus is only 148.5 hrs and all other hour requirements are on minimums. They don't even get a full lesson on PFL'S. Version 10 you have to log lots of IF time on your VFR navs to meet the IF time required. (even if you didn't really fly 1.5 IF of a 1.8 VFR nav.
So please re-read my post... "CTC is not producing a high quality product anymore.... but they wont see the product for 6 -12 months" That probably dosn't include you guys.
None of the new Syllabus Cadets have hit the market yet... Time will tell and until then CTC will live in it's reputation only. Thats where you guys have been advocates for CTC.
