Re: Epic Reporting Fail
Calling this a training flight is misleading. Pilots are transitioned from one aircraft to another in an Initial Course using state of the art full flight simulators that replicate the actual aircraft in every way. Then, there are "supervised" flights in the actual aircraft. Asiana required 10 supervised flights. This was flight #8 for the pilot at the controls. The supervising pilot, while a new "instructor," had 3200 hrs in the 777. Also, the flying pilot had landed at SFO numerous times in the Boeing 747. True, mistakes were obviously made, but this training is typical in the airline industry.
