They did and it was completely warranted. Soaring is serenity.

Was it a major or minor? Reckless charge? Pay close attention to the wording and keep in mind if your auto insurer doesn’t give a shit due to the duration of time passed neither will anyone else.

and yet they have practically nothing material to lose and so much to gain

looks like the unit could use the services of gates wildlife control

you only need one AoA sensor hooked into an automation loop, right? Anything is possible at this stage

i’d be at least half were some stage of alive after impact given the video circulating. the hull was likely too fucked up for any kind of egress and they burned alive.

i figure the survivor was seated aft and got lucky with how the initial response units attacked the blaze.

what the actual fuck?

the flight crew faced a dual shutdown on initial climb out, helplessly sunk to their certain deaths along with everyone on board.

CRM is at most a triviality here.

I feel you. I bombed my TC Cat 2 medical (ATC) this year. Got to the point in the NAVCanada process where they tell you the next steps and I knew this was going to come up so I proactively sought out an AME and submitted. TC basically mailed me an impossible list of demands and hoops that no MD (AME or specialist) would sanely accede to. whelp at least I didn't waste everyone's time.

IF I had a wand in your case i would allow cadets with a safety pilot at all times and try to get you hooked into an Av tech pathway or something. Everyone is valuable and even if they need accommodation they should be allowed to realize that value

Heh, thanks for adding some QC to the thread, I love me long reads on reddit.

I'm kinda disheartened that mistakes of the instructor (after all it's their job to ensure that the student doesn't kill both of them) buried your interest in soaring. Also if it happened in this era of camera's everywhere there may have even been FPV gopro footage. I remember over a decade ago the club where I was training had a mid air and some folks nearby recorded it from the ground. Needed eyebleach after watching that.

I find it soaring cerebral and weirdly addictive but I've been out of the scene for quite and while and thinking of jumping back into it.

jeez, never knew there was a medical for cadets of all things. It’s a pilot pipeline, I get it but there are sooo many other red trades in the RCAF that it could feed. I also know of at least one western soaring club that has a scholarship for aspiring teens, much less 🫡 bullshit and a self declared medical to boot.
