Learjet 60 crash in West Palm Beach

No argument here. Some of the instructors at 142 schools are incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about their craft, but corporate limits the ability to teach anything that's not on the script.

Circle at JFK, MEM, or JNU? Yawn, we can all do those in our sleep. How about ILS 6 circle 1 at TEB when the weather is • with 30kt NW winds? Sorry, can't do that - it isn't on the approved maneuvers.

I don’t know if it’s the instructors in the Global group but I’ve been given some great, plausible scenarios lately I’ve never seen before.
 
While past performance doesn't guarantee future results here is my prediction.

The FAA is going to mandate the 1500 hr rule to part 135. If Biffle’s crash brought an end to single pilot waivers, I can definitely seem them putting ATP mins as a requirement for charter operations.
 
If only they’d actually look at training…I think mandatory sim training should be required for anything requiring a type, differences training per FSB report should be mandatory for 91 as well as 135, and sim centers need to both modernize curriculums around proven training philosophies like AQP and FITS while upholding standards consistently. Sims are fantastic training and evaluation tools that are used mostly to check boxes and play video games in my experience as a 91 client. And if the check clears…you’ll more than likely pass.
