Not forgetting the only way to make flying completely safe is to ban
it completely
Training that doesn't demonstrate how to avoid and if all else fails
to recover from situations that kill many would be lacking. The idea
being that the instructor through greater experience will prevent the
situation getting beyond them and react in more than enough time.
Should an instructor fail to do so does not mean the system is broken,
but that the particular instructor pushed their own abilities too far.
During my training the thing that was drummed home more than anything
else was to act to take control long before a situation was getting
away from me.
btw: I have lost many more friends through sailing than I have through
gliding (note I say friends as effectively removes the numbers
participating from the comparison) .

Might it be because they're a self-selected population of people who
fly
more often, and hence expose themselves to risks more often?
It likely isn't that what they are teaching is wrong but that the
teaching is ineffective or incomplete.
Entirely possible, Mike. But how does switching to a different
administrative system help? And do you think that the CASA syllabus
is "effective" and "complete"?
It must have some gaps in it, otherwise light twins wouldn't do
wheels-ups on the main runway at Adelaide International; and B737
drivers wouldn't file a couple of incident reports per year about
go-arounds after accidentally lining up for final approach on Anzac
Highway.
What would you do to make it "effective" and "complete" other than
switch it to a different administrative system?
