Gerwings relatives to sue Flight Trainer US

Wonder how far they will get with that.

Of course the layman would ask why the medical history of pilot is not available to the relavant authority.
Or at least a signature from a GP stating that a person is fit to obtain an aviation medical certificate.

If someone presents me with a valid aviation medical, i am quite happy to train them and let them fly solo or be an Airline Pilot.

I have had a few students that have later admitted to having depression and treatment. (usually ex Policemen and Teachers?).

What do i have to do now running a flying school.
Get every member to sign a form declaring they are sane or have no condition that prevents them from flying.

What if they win their case.
Will all flying schools close down?
Where and when does the buck stop.
What happens if someone i taught 20 years ago flips.
If no school go after the instructor.

If the regulator requires medicals, then that's where the claimants should go.
They decided the rules we play by.

What next, car passenger victim relatives suing the drivers Driving School?
