So, no student of mine has failed a checkride. Or had until yesterday afternoon. And boy did he fail it good. He managed to put the aircraft in a spin during slow flight. Twice. I guess I was due.
So, last week I had a bit of an incident on landing… Everything was looking fine, and the student decided at the last minute to just jerk back on the stick, for unexplained reasons. This put us in a nose-high stall attitude about 10 feet over the grass on the right side of the runway…
One of the presenters of our favorite show was apparently pretty badly injured while trying to set the land speed record in Britain in a jet car. The big question is, will this delay the start of the new series in October? Or will they replace The Hamster with someone like Sabine Schmidt?
