Important US Flight School Lawsuit Dismissed
Pennsylvania Court Decision Dismisses Lawsuit Against a Flight School and Its CFI Following Tragic Crash
Pennsylvania’s Superior Court has upheld lower court’s decision in dismissing the lawsuit against a flight school and its CFI following tragic crash of pilot and its passenger in 2018. The Plaintiffs, alleging malpractice, contend that the failure of the pilot in the usage of Cirrus Aircraft Parachute System (CAPS) caused the fatal accident tantamount to lack or inadequate training on the part of the pilot. Hence, negligence on the part of the flight school and its CFI.
The Flight Training Industry has been following this case closely as the case could have implications that a flight school or CFI could be held liable for what could be termed “Educational Malpractice” which would have resulted in changes in the industry practises.
Although the decision is on appeal to the highest court of Pennsylvania, the dismissal of the case provides comfort to the flight schools in the state.

‘Roughly 9,600 GA Flight Training Fleet in the US,’ Estimates Flight School Association of North America
The Flight School Association of North America (FSANA), a dynamic trade association that serves flight training providers and the entire aerospace industry, has shared its understanding of the U.S. flight training aircraft fleet.
FSANA in a short brief has shared interesting figures as quoted below:
“A key factor in training pilots remains the utilization of the resource of aircraft. A question remains of exactly how many aircraft are out there that are currently being used, or are potentially able to be utilized in flight training activities.
FSANA has been studying the GA flight training fleet in the United States. While there is no exact science to calculating the GA training fleet, FSANA estimates that there are 10,000 single and light twin aircraft utilized in day to day training operations.
These estimates include independent flight schools, college based aviation schools and the Flying Club community.
By some estimates, there are approximately 1,600 flight schools throughout our national airspace system. If we estimated an average of approximately 6 aircraft per school (some are much larger and many are smaller).
1,600 x 6 aircraft yields an estimated 9,600 aircraft in the GA flight training fleet.
FSANA estimates that the average number of monthly hours flown per aircraft is 70 hours. Based on the above information, FSANA estimates that there is an estimated 8,064,000 flight training hours flown each year.”
