Require airline inspectors charged with the supervision of the introduction of new airlines, to ensure that Line Training Captains demonstrate by flight test that they are competent for the duties required of them, particularly if they have not had training as flying instructors.

An airline inspector did carry out supervision of the Air Freight New Zealand line training and was satisfied that the training captains had demonstrated to him that they were competent to carry out the responsibilities require of them.

This will now not be the case with any new airline. It is ATD policy that an airline must get a training approval under Regulation 191 and them be responsible for its own training staff and its own standard. The ATD will audit such an airline against it's written procedures and manuals.
