Well said triadic!!!!!!! You have hit the nail on the head. It is the system that allows grade 3 instructors to work without supervision.
I have been in this industry for 24 years and I have heard how Grade 3 instructors are substandard for the past 24 years. The people who continually say they are substandard are the experience pilots who train them. Remember you are only as good as the training you have received.
Forget about CASA helping !!!!! there just a government sycophant that does what they are told and at present they are not interested in training standards of grade 3 instructors.
Stormywx..... well said and good luck with your career.
