"Look student, if you want to learn to fly 'with me' then the lesson starts by learning safety. The belt fastenes before the engine starts".(Next they'll be 'skimping' on the walk around, then the mag checks) I've flown in air so bumpy that if I didn't have my seatbelt on I'd probably have had holes in the roof. (Sure glad the wings weren't ripped off) The dmage should have been deducted from the instructors wages for not enforcing safety! What if there had been a crash and the student was killed? Do you think the 'Lap-Strap' issue would have come up? You bet it would, I'll bet his life insurance would not have paid off, and the instructor would probably be looking for a 'non-flying' job. > He > encountered a good bump and his head cracked the plexiglass in the > skylight (is that what you call it in a 172? it's not a canopy > obviously).
