The industry is often concerned about pilots reverting to old habit or previously trained practices to the detriment of flying modern technology-augmented aircraft. Yet when faced with a basic task – raw data ILS, there is an apparent lack of understanding of the basics.
So what is being taught as basic; do new pilots ever fly raw data ILS, or only use FDs etc in training aircraft?
If taught, then what is taught; the basic old-style raw data ILS or something new, anticipating (assuming) that operations will always be technology aided?
If the old style is taught, why should pilots forget the basics (understanding) or the means of recall and application? The basics are usually required in situations involving system failure.
