	Description:		‘Fail the trip.’ I said to the flying instructor who’d just flown with one of our top students. He gave me a confused look. I was expecting it – my demand, to him, was entirely unreasonable. We knew the student well, I’d read her flying reports from her previous two flight schools and from our own Squadron where she was learning to be a fast jet pilot in the RAF. She was excellent; her flying was above average in all respects – she was hard working and well prepared for her flights. But there was a problem. I’d seen it before but it was obvious to me that her instructor had not. ‘Fail her trip.’ I repeated. ‘But she flew well, it was a good sortie, she’s a great student, you know this – why should I fail it?’ he asked. ‘Have a think, brother,’ I said, ‘she’s a ‘great student’ – where’s she going to be in six months time?’ https://fastjetperformance.com/podcasts/why-the-best-fighter-pilots-are-often-the-biggest-failures/
