So I arrive at the airport at about 8:50am last wednesday, and my instructor was already there. I knew something was up, Because he was talking to all of the mechanics. Just so happens that he sent one of his private students solo, and crashed on landing. Not to bad, but had a prop strike, and I'm not to sure how the rest of the plane is. He was fine, but of course pretty freaked out. Right now this doesn't effect me much, because he crashed the 152, and I'm instrument in the 172. The problem is our insurance. I'm in a flying club and the word was that we had already taken too many claims, and that we might be getting dropped. In that case, no flight club/I don't know how I'm going to train. I think the FBO has a plane for rent, but I'm not too sure. So possibly good by to our extremely low rentals... I'll brag again
c152 $35
c172 $52 (two of them)
c182 $68
Arrow $70
Instructor $20
Seminol (instruction only) $140 with instruction
Club fees $50/month, but when I'm flying about 15hrs a month, it still comes out really cheap.
It also makes me question my instructors judgement. I'm taking my instrument checkride on friday, and I'm not that confident that I'm ready. He's been trying to get me to take it for a long time, but I didn't think I was ready. I'm not usually confident when it comes to any kind of test, so I went ahead and scheduled it friday, trusting my instructors judgement. Then the whole private student accident, it just makes me question my instructor, but other than that, I think he's decent. Not an awesome instructor, but I think adequate, and hes a good guy too. Anyone else have any "anxious" instructors out there?
