Blackpool crash, moral issues

On the forum for private flying (non-airline) is the thread about the Blackpool disaster.

The discussion there concentrates for now on the moral pressure having possibly been put on the P1 which could have contributed to the bad decisionmaking of the P1.

especially Frontlefthamster is strongly of the opinion that these contributory factors were such that he expects/hopes that the coroner will point towards these outside factors as a main factor

I believe that instructors/examiners/CFI's should discuss here both the sign out procedures at their clubs (who was P1?) as well as the training of what means P1 (responsibilities AND authorities) as well as pressures put on students by clubs/CFI's which could result in bad decision making by students.

Lets open that can of worms here, not on the private flying chapter, as I strongly believe there we should continue to impress the finality of being p1 to pilots so that they may continue to or improve in taking charge of their flights

I am a private pilot, not an instructor, so i ll leave it to you
