No it wasn't.

The student was from the Philippines. The instructor was from Malaysia.

I think you will find video # 2 makes this relatively clear.

FYI I have regularly flow Omni's aircraft including the 152 in question. I have no issue with Omni's maintainance whatsoever.

I do however have issues with their turnover of instructors and the subsequent loss of skills and safety that implies.

A C152 can land anywhere dead stick unless you are really unlucky. SEL aircraft do loose the "donk" from time to time, but you have to try really hard to kill yourself if this happens.

Lack of training (for the CFI) and an unfortunate training hop for the student.
