730 Report on Pilot Training.

Just a heads up that the 730 Report is doing a story on pilot training tomorrow (Tuesday) night. From the advert it appears it will be based on synthetic trainers/MPL. Should be interesting.
And no doubt provoke some more of the measured, careful and well thought-out debate PPrune is renowned for!

The reporting should also be 'measured, careful and well thought-out'.

We should be grateful that ACA or TT haven't got hold of this topic...yet.

From ABC 7.30 Report Website

Tonight on The 7.30 Report
Air Safety

The recent fatal plane crash in Phuket has raised new concerns about air safety and pilot training. Australia is considering a new licensing system for co-pilots which puts more emphasis on flight simulators over actual flying time. But critics warn this training is inadequate. Is air safety really being compromised? 7.30's Mark Willacy investigates.
