II,
I question the concept of recurrent training consisting of a Check Ride. Does that mean if the pilot passes the check ride...in reality there is no prescribed minimum standard for training that must be done to satisfy Recurrent Training Standards?
Do you in the UK have Minimum Training Standards and Courses of Training for Re-Current courses? Does the CAA have to approve your training courses, materials, videos, or do you just decide on your own what is sufficient?
If you do not have a formal Recurrent Course....one that is approved by the CAA....to what standard do you train?
Is there a Common Standard that all UK Operators must adhere to.....re Ground Training, Flight Training and Simulator Training? Must the Sim's be approved by the CAA.....does the CAA do any sort of Inspection procedure to certify the Operator is actually compiling with the Approved Standard?
