I just read it. (I was going to do the whole "I didn't read it and I disagree" thing, but I see that's been done).
First off, I think it was very well written-- it flows easily and was a pleasure to read. Papers like this can often be very dry, this was not.
My personal take away (coming from a student's perspective) was that I wish I could be trained within a FITS framework. It sounds "real-world" and therefore very practical and helpful. Rather than doing 'steep turns' for 'steep turns' sake, but rather in an experience that you might actually find yourself
needing to do them, and then it will make sense quicker (and you'll remember what you were taught since you'd be going from one real based scenario to another, as opposed to a training scenario to a real based one).
Excellent food for thought and I have a feeling that this will be the conclusion that "the powers that be" will come to with regard to advanced technologies in aviation.
Overall-- good job. You're a good writer, Tim. Have you ever thought about writing as a career? Maybe in conjunction with aviation?
