Case in Point. I had arrived at my office early on the first
day of my new job as Chief Flight Instructor. The very first
call I got was from a student pilot who said he would not
continue flying. I asked the student why he wanted to quit.
He explained that he had wanted to fly all
his life-he had dreamed of being a pilot
since early childhood-but the night before,
his dream had been destroyed: He had been
scared half out of his wits and was going
to discontinue training. He refused to talk
about the problem, closing with an abrupt,
"Ask my instructor about it."
I immediately went to his instructor to
learn the circumstances that led to the
student quitting. At first, the instructor was
reluctant to give me details. But then he told
me there had been an accident: He and the
student had just taken off on a night flight in
a Cessna 152, when they were struck from
behind by another aircraft. The 152 had
received severe damage to the left wing and
horizontal stabilizer but had landed safely.
I went out to the hangar to inspect the
aircraft. The mechanic explained that the
instructor and student had been overtaken
by a departing aircraft carrying cargo to
another field. The other aircraft, a Piper, had
turned right to avoid the Cessna, clipping
the left horizontal stabilizer and left wing
with its right wing.
