And yes, I personally have come across quite a few young colleagues who have never flown anything else than the Airbus and for whom interpreting a VOR needle poses a major problem. Not their fault, they just weren’t taught. And sadly, many airlines just seem to accept the remaining level of risk. As long as the whole rest works as it should, no problem… !?

I know a few colleagues that have done the last stall and deep stall training on their training aircraft during their basic flight formation. Today they are captains on A320/A330/A340. They simply have no clue about how it would be with an Airbus, as there is no training being done.

Sadly, most airlines say, it is the pilots obligation to ask for such training.
