So sorry for your loss man. I've communicated with a lot of Falcon coworkers past and current today, and we are all feeling a loss along with you, her family, and the students. Y'all are all in our thoughts and prayers.

As others have said, very, very sorry for your loss. As the years go by, I hope you stay in touch with her family to help them grieve and keep her memory alive.

Damn. Former Falcon CFI/MEI/CFI-I here as well. Know a number of the guys there doing the turbine training for the Chinese students in the school's KingAir. I can only imagine the pain they are going through now. Very sad.

What a terrible and sad accident. Almost 10 years ago I was almost killed in a mid-air while instructing. When I really think about how close it was, I still get sick to my stomach. Stay safe out there folks.

I remember while teaching slow flight, having to essentially do a split S in an Archer in order to avoid getting hit by a helicopter. This was in the North Practice area in Phoenix back in 09. Virtually every instructor had a near miss story where I worked. given the density of training traffic in the Valley, and other popular flight training locations, I'm surprised it doesn't happen more often. Honestly if my daughters decide to go into flying I hope they don't have to instruct in one of these areas.

this is incredibly sad though seeing how close she was to making it to the regionals. Can't even imagine what the parents are going through. RIP

Sorry for your loss. I met Taylor last year at the Express Jet open house. She was a sweet girl with a bright future.

Took me a sec to figure out that's two airplanes in one pic. Was wondering where the other one went. Yikes, brutal

I'm sorry for everyone's loss who knew her or the student. CTJ is a popular training airport around Atlanta, it has an overlapping CTAF with several others I regularly fly in and out of. sad to hear one less CFI on freq.

I almost had a middair at this exact airport about 13 years ago. I think there was a thread about it on JC. Kind of makes me sick now thinking about it.

Very sad indeed. I'm sorry for your loss.

The three closest calls in my career, where life hung in the balance for a few seconds, was flight instructing. After the third event, I knew I had to do whatever it took to move on.

Hearing these things happen sucks. For all the CFIs out there, be safe and may fortune smile upon you to move on quickly.

 

[Murdoughnut]

CFIs - good reminder here ... often students are making radio calls without any situational awareness of what's going on in the pattern. Sometime when you're doing pattern work, stop and ask your student "tell me who is in the pattern and where they are" to see if they're actually hearing the chatter.

God, that's tragic. Sorry, man.
