It's egos that suffer the worst damage at a time like this. The poor student may feel like everyone will be laughing at him/her, which to someone at that stage is often enough to make them ashamed to show their face at the flying school again. Important to make them realise it's not really such a big deal, **** happens and that's why we have insurance companies; and nosewheels are replacable.
How about a thread on "what is the biggest stuff up you (the instructor) have made" ??!!
