Heard a feedback from an Airbus A380 Line Instructor Pilot that junior pilots nowadays "fly-by-memory" instead of fly by competency. Given that there are so much emphasis on grades and results in this part of the world, it is hardly surprising that, during training, pilots often chase after scores on a piece of paper instead chasing logic, reasoning, meaning, purpose, application...
