  1. All three flight instruction related events. I think it's time for MI Air flight school to reassess their CFI training. Embry Riddle would not have allowed three events to happen in three years to one aircraft, two of which were landing related. And I wonder if that wing root fairing separating had anything to do with repeated hard landings over time.

  2. plenty of Runway 8R/26L, 7000 x 150 ft. / 2134 x 46 m, Runway 3/21, 4919 x 150 ft. / 1499 x 46 m

  3. It appears a lot of Asian national students go to that flight school. I've heard of language barriers from a few former flight instructors in flight schools struggling to communicate with their students from nations there. I seriously wonder if this is becoming a socially sensitive topic to approach for discussion.

    Student skills are not the issue - communication is. We as pilots have all leaned on every word from our instructors starting with our first flight, and every word means something and builds on something else including trust. Often it was not or is not even the words but the way the words are said to get your attention and learn including tone and inflection. On top of that, when you have a change in instructors and learn from someone new, a language barrier can only make things more difficult (which means incident prone).

    1. We need more Asian and Black female pilots and CFi's
