Except for, you know, that computer system that throws people into the ground if a probe malfunction, and that the "just short of non existent" training doesn't seem to cover properly.
I don't know how this part works, when a manufacturer says "this plane doesn't require full training but merely a small top up since it's the same as plane X before", I assume the FAA needs to validate this matches reality ?
- rbanffy 8y agoNot only validate it matches reality when the plane is introduced, but continuously validating it via crew reports. This feedback needs to be a closed loop. If a plane surprises an adequately trained crew, then it means someone missed something.
