Pilot training advances stifled by rule-makers

摘要

Quality piloting may not have been the prescribed theme of Flightglobal's Flight Safety Conference (8-9 September, London), but it emerged as the dominant subject, despite a strong field of contenders.Oxford Aviation Academy's (OAA) commercial director Lloyd Watson spoke for all flight training organisations (FTOs), in bemoaning the fact that the statutory requirements for type rating and recurrent training have not been modernised, to take account of the changes to state-of-the-art flight-decks and modern air traffic management (ATM).
