H500 you have a very good reputation and I am sure you fixed the guy in the end. Sorry if I was a bit harsh.
CRAB Yes I do Instruct and check TRIs and TREs. I am glad to see you have almost capitulated and almost accepted that the essential safety briefs should be there which of course would include critical failures especially those in the Helicopter involving flight control degradation.
It may come across to you as us being pompous, but actually we are just compliant with the requirements of our authorisations and I know HC very well and he is or was, as he is resting pretending to be retired, 100% committed to giving good training.
You are a bit of a wind up merchant and it may seem I take the bait every time. However, given your background and reputation I feel you would do better on this forum to peddle a more conservative compliant view. Your are influential and that carries responsibility. Even on this forum.
It is for this reason I feel compelled to pull you back from gung ho city back to compliant land, even if it takes a while.
