First of all, i'm not sure why nobody has posted a response to you but i'll do it.
Second, i go to mtsu and when i was in the flight program i had some fantastic training, most of the instructors out there really know what they are doing. .
Third, i know the cfi who had the mishap in CHA -- he is a great pilot--and these kind of things happen. i don't think it's necessarily his fault but maybe the DA-20's weren't such a good choice or planes.
i mean how many problems have those planes had? the landing gear, the elt's, and so on.
Even out at Wings in smyrna they have had a few mishaps with that plane. there was a guy who stalled on his first solo and tore up the plane, another pilot had a "hard landing" at the end of his flight, nobody even realized there was two inches gone from the prop until a pilot was doing the preflight the next day.
So in my own opinion i think that we have some great pilots out of mtsu and wings. i don't think it's fair to say that it's the universitys fault or that they don't have a good program.
