I don't know about the L2 training, but having completed a 332L conversion with CAE in Stavanger, I can only comment on my experiences. The standard of simulator training was outstanding! The pre-session briefings were the best I have every had in 35 years of military and civil flying. Once in the sim, the pace and content were again spot on, perfectly tailored to the crew's experience levels. Having spent 11 years at Bristow, I can honestly say that the CAE training was as good if not better.
I don't think the standard of training per se is the reason this tragic accident occurred. It was, as always, a combination of human errors, from the design of the AFCS system, through company management culture to the pilots themselves. And not forgetting the oversight, or lack of, by the CAA?
