I've bent it - constructive advice needed please

Hi all,

Im a low hour instructor. I took a student out and without going into all the details I had a hard landing and have crimped the tail section. I hold my hands up, it was my inexperience that caused the incident.

The repair bill looks like it will be around 4k. I have, of course, offered to pay the insurance excess but now an considering the implications for my employer with increased future premiums and my position with regard to getting my next job/being employable due to having an accident on my record. 4k is a lot of money but if im unemployable it's a drop in the ocean.

I would really appreciate some advice from employers/anyone else in the know. I'd rather take a bigger hit now if it will help me in the future.
