#91 CFI posts snapchats insulting his student before fatal flight lesson.

To quote the great flying mag “Death by Time Builder”. This weeks episode we focus heavily on the recent news of two fatal crashes, both involving the use of Snapchat. In particular, the CFI that insulted and complained about his student over Snapchat posts. “McKellar’s Snapchat story begins with him talking to the camera and shaking his head along with the caption, “me and this student would not get along if he was my full-time student. I’ve seen faster at the Special Olympics.”” This story took a turn when the CFI, Timothy McKellar Jr., 22 & student, Connor Quisenberry were involved in a fatal crash the same night. We discuss how some CFIs are focused on building their hours, not teaching and remind our listeners to always have a voice when it comes to your flight training. It could save your life.
