Did the incident ho yo their record as such? Not really sure. NTSB 830 says fractures of fingers, toes, nose not an accident. Also not sure if there is anything in FAR Part 141 which covers flight schools. Only other issue besides the injury and healing time was missing her original CFII checkride ...

Well bandaged due to the stitches and a splint on top of that to prevent bending. I warned her about waving her hand around while driving to preve...

That's why I'm not pushing her to get it right away. What you refer to is not the only issue. High density altitudes here combined with the performance (or lack thereof) of multi engine training aircraft (typically PA-44 Seminoles here) makes for stall / spin scenarios during MMC A demos.

Without wishing to sound like one of your parents, "Go out and play".

Not said by my parents.
More like "Stop playing and come in for dinner".

Just got word from D#1 that she passed her CFII checkride. :YMPARTY: It was delayed by a month due to fractured and lacerated fingertip from having her instructor slam aircraft door while they were troubleshooting problem with door latch. :-o :(( Only thing left for her to do is get her multi-engine...

I also have many different seed varieties for sprouting and as it is getting hotter salads are becoming more a meal option, so lots of options.
