An interesting Flight Int article on the merits of MPL over ATPL to cure Loss of Control (LOC) accidents in highly automated aircraft.
IN FOCUS: Loss of control - training the wrong stuff?
Interesting because:-
a. The adequacy of the ATPL is questioned
b. The ATPL is seen as a possible reason for LOC incidents
c. Counter intuitively, stick and rudder and traditional experience building routes are perceived as less safe than the MPL which reduces emphasis on trad skills.
Still think cadets should be paying 100K for an ATPL rather than an MPL?
