In some cases, RAAus Flying Schools latest aircraft are unsuitable for RPC training, due to increasing complexity, glass instrumentation.
I did my first 18 hours training in a basic Foxbat, a weekend hire pilot bent it, out of service for months of repairs. School replaced the Foxbat with a Sting. It was COVID time, as well.
i was told I had to resume training in the new aircraft.
I was in 6 hours credit for lessons, I said it’s too complex for me to fly, I was 72 years old at the time. I was refused a refund. I did my own assessment as to my ability to learn the new aircraft, it was too slick for me, at my age.
Sadly, that aircraft crashed into the sea, 2 months ago and my 18 hour instructor went with it 🤢 along with right seat instructor with him, both now deceased 🤢WHY? Be no RAAus investigation, on the crash with 2 RAA instructors.
Some of the newer RAAus training aircraft are not suitable, due to their complexity ?
Just like putting L plates, on a Ferrari for drivers licence training.
