If you've read my previous columns, you know that I have advocated changing the way we train new pilots. The old, maneuvers-based training is no longer meeting the challenge of today's technically advanced aircraft and the evolving national airspace system. We've got to spend more time teaching folks to make good, solid judgments and to use their aircraft as transportation tools. No, this does not mean that we have to give up $100 ($300?) hamburgers, but that we need to train for more than that.
