I have no idea what Ozonaught and Fliion are arguing about.
But a Couple points,
1. Fliion, you say you are from the USA, but I've never heard an American say "rubbish"
2. Checking/Training, whatever. During line training, a student shows clear deficiency on hand flying and they are dangerous. Call it remedial training/failure, doesn't matter. The 1 stripers are always sent back to sim after nearly killing 300 Indians when the TRI takes over the landing.
3. Another student can fly the airplane well, but has trouble with the radio or SOP through unfamiliar environment. Don't anyone dare "FAIL" that poor guy and send him back to the sim. What is he going to learn in the sim? TEACH him, watch for improvement on the return sector. Do they teach TRI's "fundamentals of instruction?" The definition of learning is a change of behavior.
4. Final point, Has anyone ever failed a manual handling sim? I've seen a few guys that should have.
These accidents come in three's. We are due for a 3rd "children of the magenta" crash. a. Air France, b. Asiana, C. ???????
