But what does any of this have to do with losing your way over Algonquin Park at night and running out of gas?
Absolutely nothing at all.
The training today, in Canada, is more than just the fault of TC, I think, though your remarks are still relevant.
Instructors, who, for many, are inexperienced themselves, are not being properly trained and supervised. How many FTUs, after hiring an instructor spend any amount of time checking them out to nsure they can teach, or provide additional training? Or provide supervision and monitoring? From my experience not many....read almost none.
I was never a fan of the FAA 141 training with all the multiple stage checks, but more and more I am seeing the wisdom behind that and the published syllabus.
it is a bit sad that we need to rely on a government agency to try and insure FTU management actually manage.
As to this accident..tragic...but all of us pontificating here, I don't think, is going to prevent even one future similar accident. RIP to a fellow aviator
