Ex DAC, genuine question to follow.
The FAA instructor appointment system seems too simple to those of us labouring under CASA complexity. Yet, the GA accident rate in the USA is lower than that in Australia, despite your more demanding environment.
Is it true that the FAA keep a close watch on individual instructors by having examiners test students and reporting a first time pass rate? An instructor must achieve a certain student success rate to continue without FAA involvement. Or some similar quality assurance?
