Ground training
Hi Maoraigh1,
I was't arguing for more training but rather for better training, or to be more specific, better ground training.
In my view current ground training, in so far as it may be said to exist at all, is woefully inadequate.
But yes of course, flying currency with its concomitant experience in handling the unexpected is also crucial. We are so accustomed to the excessive cost of solo flying in the UK that we rarely complain about it when perhaps we should. And I should love to see a calculation of how much of the hourly rate is accounted for by regulatory costs.
