Who knows? Did anything like that ever happen to you or anyone else you
know? Did you or they quit? Those are binary questions.

That's an interesting question. I'd a small scare during my PPL
training.
It, combined with the love I have of preflighting in the winter, kept me
away from the airport for five months.

It looks like this is more common than I thought. I suspected that the
scare claim was just an excuse for some more mundane reason. Anyone else
have this experience?

I've never seriously scared myself (although I've been plenty worried a few
times), but my mentor in flight quit flying not long after an engine-out
landing in a corn field.

Of course, it didn't help that he was fired from his job about then, too.
