A quick poll seems to indicate that the Grob is not up to the job in terms of design and reliability and possibly, build quality.
We can see that MP's are "seriously" concerned with the backlog of student pilots waiting to complete EFTS (or get chopped in some cases), so - questions:

1) Is it now time to ditch the Grob in favour of a better trainer? Nothing wrong with the T67M and our American friends agreed with this.

2) Is the EFTS service provider paying punitive contractual fees for failing to deliver?

3) Is it possible that a combination of English weather and an unreliable aeroplane will lead to a shortage of front line pilots?
