Netters; This story is a good example of how accidents are many times the results of multiple failures. That's why it is so important for a CFI to include at lease a few simulated emergencies on each lesson. My favorite is this one: I point out the windscreen to the 10 o'clock position and say to the student, "Hey, isn't that the Blue Angels?" They look every time, as I reach over and pull the throttle back. We both get a good laugh...and they always remember their engine failure proceed after that.
