A pilot's 'flight hours' is regarded as a key measure of their experience.
If a pilot only ever trained visual approaches in sim, and not the real world accounting for the overwhelming majority of their flight experience, that number would be meaningless.
- p_l 3y ago"Experience building" by flight hours (and in properly managed organizations, regular "manual" flying) is not the same as "training", at least in local vocabulary as used by my flight instructors and other people I know in aviation. Thus somewhat mixed reading of what I wrote earlier. Was obvious to me, from responses wasn't obvious to others.
