From airline to instruction

[nick14]

I understand the term rounded but not the senior bit, but it's a minor issue.

I again disagree that an instructor who can merely get students through a test is not at all competent, they can just teach the student to fly a defined set of manoeuvres to a set of criteria. Passing a test does not necessarily mean the student is competent.

It's all down to providing the student with the knowledge, skills and attidues with which they can deal with the unexpected and unforeseen that will inevitably occur, IE competence. That is a competent instructor and a competent student. Otherwise it's all hours, event and manoeuvre based, instructor centered training.
