Practicing manual flying in jet transport ops.

[Gnadenburg]

I'm new to the debate and I'm sure my strong position for raw data efficiency has been voiced by others.

I'll just quickly add, that I fly with MPL's & Cadets who seem to have had their raw data training cut so far to the bone, that when I encourage them to hand-fly, the standard is so rough and woeful that I ensure the seat belt is fastened for passenger safety.

This is how quickly the industry has run with what's deemed as acceptable skills erosion for cost cutting and training short cuts. I'm shocked at how quickly the problem has further manifested itself over the last few years in my part of the world.

It now seems acceptable too, for training captains to struggle with raw data proficiencies. This seems to be a betrayal from within, with a percentage of training pilots behaving like FCOM bureaucrats instead of instilling strong fundamentals.
