In Episode 122 I discussed the state of flight training standards in Australia. There ar many reasons for this, but one without doubt is to do with the quality and level and training received by flight instructors. In this episode I'll discuss instructor training standards, CAR 5 vs Part 61 requirements and what we could be doing better.

I've been vocal about the challenges we're encountering, from the quality of commercial graduates to the disconnect between training practices and real-world demands. But this isn't just about pointing out problems; it's about sparking meaningful conversations and driving change where it's needed most.
