Joe,

Thanks for the response Joe.  Sorry about the damage
to the plane.  199L has sure been through a lot in
providing all of us training.

However your emphasis on "student" makes me wonder
about the experience of this pilot.  Certainly you do
not mean that he/she was a "student" as in student
pilot who may be prone to the type of incident as you
describe it.  As a private pilot, this student is not
ready to move into high performance aircraft having
shown such poor judgment.  Also, it would seem that
something was missing in the preflight planning
between the instructor and the student, that is ground
school before the flight, discussing what the training
would consist of and expectations/outcome of the
maneuvers as described during the ground school phase.


Again thanks for the response.  It stops the rumor
mill when a representative of the company lets us know
about an incident.
