Without in any way casting any aspersions on the current accident at Gympie and
we all hope that the pilots are OK and the glider can quickly be returned to
service, It is sad to reflect on just how many accidents to two seaters have an
instructor on board.
One would expect instructors to have a very high skill level and to fly with a
substantial safety margin, but the number of accidents with an instructor on
board, both here and overseas, makes one wonder. Please don't say " you can't
make an omelette without breaking eggs" . Other forms of aviation manage to
train pilots without a high level of accidents.
