Under RAAus that the instructor is the PIC so therefore they are responsible, there isn't even the availability for ICUS for students that have done their solo but want to fly with their instructor.
Unless the student has signed a rental or training contract that specifically states they are liable for the excess in case of damage to the aircraft I would be telling the flight school the liability lies with them
In preparing to reassemble my Supa Pup I was doing a thorough inspection of the wing struts and found a crack in one and a decent wear mark in another.
Not having much luck finding a supplier for some replacements, anyone have any leads?
Dimensions are 20mm x 47mm for the rear strut and 22mm x 50mm for the front one, both 2mm wall thickness.
Cheers
This seems to be a big problem from what I am hearing. Lots of older instructors retiring and no new blood filling the vacancy combined with the hour builders who have no interest in instructing apart from the ability to build hours quickly
Tooradin was bought by Amber Airports a few years ago, haven't heard anything good about Tooradin since then.
I think they thought they could make plenty of money out of it.
I have noticed I'm getting Maurice Blackburn ads about the Matt Farrell case on social media.
Seems like the ambulance chasing lawyers have aviation in their sights
Thanks, I will continue to read up on the various options.
Unfortunately at this stage it isn't a Cub, that is what I learnt to fly in and is definitely the end goal though.
