routine bussiness

Moreover, as a flight Instructor working at a busy flight school in the late 90's in the Southern California area, over a period of 1 year there were 5 fatal accidents ALL involving either European or Indian students..

I presume

In this scenario flying school pick trainees who had no representative in USA.
They pick 5 a/c” s which were due for C of A.
Grounding an airplane for C of A is very expensive.
Full money of the course paid by trainees.
Insured a/c”s.
After crash aircraft parts fetching higher price than the a/c.
Parking charges saved.
Parking lots saved.
Flying school made big chunk in one year over the dead bodies.
And why FAA could not go beyond routine enquiry after crash, or made some recommendations for safety after the first crash because inquiry finished looking at the metal on ground.
These trainees had no representative to go to FAA and ask for detailed enquiry and look in to other aspects leading to such events.
FAA could have gone beyond the wall and done justice with the flying school provided someone had followed it up.
