My thoughts
When i had this disscussion with Fred Cross I was told in no uncertain terms that it was a JAA issue not a CAA issue and The CAA was not prepared to take it to Europe
Basically
1. 5 hours of instrument appreciation: Should really be 5 hours of flying in deteoriating weather and what to do if caught ( Land !!!)Should include flying over water in low cloud base and not being able to see a coast infront ( thus limited horizon )
2. VOR /ADF should be changed to GPS but then again there are so many GPS systems in differing machines how is one supposed to tech them all ?
3. Restricted site operations should allow instructors to take students to any off site field without prior notification to CAA.
4. EOL's should be taught to the ground
5. More emphsis on tail rotor problems
6. Navigating in poor weather without GPS !
Could go on but these are the things i would change.
