Not an Aussie but...
...I was a long time instructor on a not dissimilar aircraft. I would imagine that most of Aussie Aviator's points are the core of basic training/OCU/OTU - all valid though they are.
The points raised by Allahstare, post his interviews, are the really valid points for others. Mental arithmetic is a much maligned skill these days, but vital for aviators for when the tac system crashes and you haven't a calculator to hand.
Verbal communication is another vital skill which does get a fair amount of attention in schools nowadays but less so outside. Having listened some dire briefings I can attest to the fact that communicating ideas WITHOUT powerpoint is a good skill to have.
Anyhoo Allahstare - did you get in?
