No, but a general course could nonetheless improve safety and provide a common introduction to the hobby…. Good points though. The aircraft which has been suggested at this point is the good old JP which provides reletively simple and cheap operation along with differential braking steering…. and is almost indestructable under normal use. enerally, the most common aircraft to be used in this fasion are small jets with tricycle u/c. By using differential braking, we make the handling more difficult. Multi engined aircraft can be treated the same as singles when it comes to taxi runs – only there is another set of dials to read. In much the same way, engineers are trained on 1950/60 ex-RAF aircraft and out of date technology, and yet have to be able to cope with the leap from JP to A380 with minimal practical training! (lots of theory, I hasten to add).
