airpolice. Sorry to be so direct, but "born aviator"! What a lot of rot. The only thing one is born to do is eat and breath. The rest is learning, and learning from experience.
I like what worldpilot said. Training kicked in, striker got back safe. I think the only one who can assess whether stirker put him/herself or others in danger is him/her. Why not give someone learning a chance to learn from issues and mistakes.
I find it hard to believe anyone learning something like flying never had any wobbly moments, and they can seem a lot bigger than they are.
Sorry for the strong response, but I do so hate this dismissive attitude. What happened to being supportive, rather than negative. (and please don't tell me that negative is realistic. Risk analysis requires assessment, not certainty without facts).
