Why would you think that?


Are you asking about the first or second part of my statement.

The second. What interest would the FAA have in the instructor?

Oh they do, they do.... Low time pilot, big time screw up. They are
most likely going to want to have a talk with the instructor. We've
had that happen a couple of times in the past few years and the screw
up weren't nearly that bad. No one was hurt and the airplanes could
be reused...after a bit of work. Both a 150 and a 172 had shoulders
put in the wings and another 150 was totaled all from the same FBO
which was really hard on his insurance rates.
