I am really shocked that this can happen right after receiving a pilot's license (his plane was over gross, out of CG, and he tried to outclimb a mountain at a high DA).
Who else thinks we do not emphasize the fundamentals of flying well enough during training?
I think the training for the PP license is focused on passing the test, not necessarily on being a safe pilot.
Yes, it's easy to blame it on the pilot in this case, but I can't help but think that poor training contributed significantly.
On another note, no wonder plane rentals are so expensive. The insurance must be a big part of it.
