Clearly the competency testing following the accident has revealed some interesting results. I think their current TRE/TRIs should have their LPC/OPCs conducted by the Regulator until further notice.
Random observations when line pilots have their six monthly recurrency simulator checks are also necessary. This must include a good measure of teaching interesting situations from which a lot can be learnt.
The previous year's MORs will provide a rich source of scenarios. Just requires a bit of imagination and thought.
An interesting one ( a golden oldy) when I was on Saab 340 was ICING and the behaviour of the AP.
I was lucky as a Saab TP involved in Saab icing trials ( when the ATRs did not cope with icing in the USA) supervised by the FAA, often did my six monthly sim checks. I learnt a lot from him.
