Unless a student is flying solo, or does some deliberate act of sabotage, such as pulling the gear up on the ground or switching off the ignition and throwing the keys on the floor, how can the ATSB find the student at fault?
In a training or testing situation it is the instructor/testing officer who is totally responsible.
Does instructor training no longer include learning what is a recoverable situation and what is not; how far to let a student go, when to patter gently, when to be firmly assertive and when to simply take over control?
