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.
ReplyDeleteThat was NOT because of CFI. IT WAS AIRPLANE problem. First incident, Landing gear was not fully down and locked even though their gear lever was down. Second incident, I believe cause of maintenance after fixing their airplane from previous incident. Their right landing gear was not fully down during first incident which was cause of right wing hitting on the ground. The MX shop changed with new wing tip and flaps on the right side.
DeleteThird Incident, It was cause of Steering jammed after landing. They landed with Three Green Light's ON of Landing gear. But they couldn't control steering by rudder and It just headed to off the runways.
All of three was maintenance issues. if you don't read or know anything about it, don't assess them. They need to reassess maintenance program not CFI Training.

ReplyDeleteIt 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.
ReplyDeleteStudent 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).
We need more Asian and Black female pilots and CFi's
