I don't know Some of the training I received for my PPL was quite worrying. The level of (in)competence of the instructors teaching me forced landings was scary. The lack of supervision after gaining my licence was also surprising. would we let early solo pilots fly with only 3 circuits every 3 months required to keep currency if and only if they wanted to carry passengers? I think that at least our current system of club instructors keeps a watchful eye on pilots and does a better job of regulating their progress and determining their skill/currency levels. -Cath -- -- * You are subscribed to the aus-soaring mailing list. * To Unsubscribe: send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] * with "unsubscribe aus-soaring" in the body of the message * or with "help" in the body of the message for more information.
