 |  Student called racial slur on first solo WTF?! I soloed a student the other day and here is what happened. He taxied back for his second takeoff and held behind the hold short lines at a 45 degree angle, performing his pre-t/o check like he was supposed to. Some guy in a Bonanza comes barreling down the taxiway, says "Cessna, you are blocking the taxiway, I'm coming around on your right", and proceeds to cut in front of him, barely missing my students strut and the dirt to the the Bonanza's right. On the takeoff roll the Bonanza guy says something on the radio to the effect that "...he [my student] looks like a raghead and probably didn't understand anyway." I did key my handheld and say "Actually, he is a student on his first solo doing his pre-t/o check and you just cut him off." Of course I wanted to say something about his Texas accent but there were too many other Texans on frequency  . What a moron.What's funny is that my student is Puerto Rican and speaks perfect english. |

| Re: Student called racial slur on first solo Copy his N Number and called to FSDO for violation of 91.13 for Careless and reckless flying or operation of aircraft. It happened right before control tower open. A kingair C90 or 100 called out a 3 miles straight in final on CTAF. A Cherokee 6 decided to pull up to runway and takeoff while Kingair on 1 mile short final. Kingair executed an missed approach. Tower controllers, pilot of Kingair and a line guy at FBO copied down N number. When pilot of Cherokee returned, local FSDO was waiting and had a good long conversation. adreamer

| Re: Student called racial slur on first solo I heard a guy on my last lesson saying that a Piper took an 800 feet dive under him because thats what it showed on his "Garmin". The guy in the Piper said no we were under you the whole time. The Mr. "GARMIN" reported him to Potamic approach. what a tool, there will always be those flying #########s who think theyre the best pilots in the world.

| Re: Student called racial slur on first solo It's ridiculous to hear people calling out racists, and then making fun of Texans as a group of prejudice idiots.
