I have no idea which post you are referring too.

I have read that on Google but also I read that once you become solo you are responsible for the excess. The same as if you have your licence and hire an aircraft.

As raaus members we have third party cover. Would that extend to a flight school aircraft.

It's a fine line. A hard landing can cause a lot of damage.

The word is trainee. Trucks and cars are not hired to trainees. The schools I have used have never supplied any t and c,s. Certainly worth looking into.

A rental is only hired to an experienced driver. A student in a flying school is paying them to teach them to fly. I would have thought the student would not be held responsible. Maybe you are right , I just never thought of it before.

I heard something quite disturbing about a training accident recently. The student was asked to pay the insurance excess which was a lot of money. Is that normal. I just assumed that you were covered when you pay for your training. Minor accidents can be expensive repairs.

Would you prefer I don't post these videos that I find, I just thought they would be interesting for people that hadn't seen them.

I was only interested in the aircraft. I thought there was some great footage of them. Why would you come to the conclusion above. ?

They lost 20 kph

That's a big help . Why don't you explain what you are talking about. The xair antenna is on a metal bracket on the fuse boom so it should be earthed to the battery anyway.

Why don't you pay a few dollars a year . It supports the running of this site and you will get your 30 minutes.

Why.

I agree. I am going to check where all my earths are running too .
