I hear that Vigilant instructors are to be offered a mere 5 hours conversion onto the Tutor. Presumably conducted by a QFI, not some 'QUI' who hasn't completed the normal CFS course and been formally cat'd.
These new AEF pilots, without any formal aeroplane instructional qualification except for 'sailplane' instruction on TMGs, are apparently then going to be able to let cadets handle the flight controls above 1000'......
5Hrs conversion is the AEF standard minimum, even for ex-rotary pilots. All AEF pilots are allowed to let cadets handle the controls above 1000ft without having had ANY formal instructional qualification, ever.
