I am definitely no aviation expert, but I was married to Lear Jet pilot who was employed as an instructor. I have two observations on the Florida crash: when my son was baby, we were going somewhere in the Lear Jet and I wondered about taking the car seat on the plane for him. My husband responded that when Lear Jets fail, there is no “gliding” to land – it “plummets” and a car seat is not going to save anybody, because it hits the ground so fast there will be nothing left, but scraps. My second comment is that the reason that he quit flight instructing is that the Lear Jet is a two pilot aircraft, and that creating intentional emergencies in the air to show a student how to correct was creating situations that could be too hard to overcome with just one competent pilot, was simply too dangerous of a way to make a living. Yes, there are such things as flight simulators, but they are an inadequate substitute for actual - and very expensive - flight hours, which makes cutting training corners appealing to both students and employers.
