Pretty good video. Spin during an intro flight is probably a bit unnecessary. Someone in the YouTube comment section noted Pedro appears to be on a phone call at 8:06 in the video as well (his phone is on his lap and looks to be connected to his A20’s), around the time the reviews are brought up which seems odd. I’ve never heard of this school but those are definitely some tough reviews. Pedro seems like a nice guy.

Broken airplanes -- and a Coroner Van in the Video??

Both caused by this school? That's the link we are to assume?

Classy.

I'd be real careful if I was the creator of this video.

You can probably expect odd things if the "student" shows up and slaps 2 videocameras on the airplane. I don't believe a spin would have been part of the first flight if the "student" didn't ask for it. Something like "hey man, I'm making a movie, can you show me something spectacular/cool/dangerously looking?"

As an AvCanada discussion grows longer:
-the probability of 'entitlement' being mentioned, approaches 1
-one will be accused of using bad airmanship

Yeah I see that as odd for sure. I wouldn’t want to be in Pedro’s shoes as an instructor being recorded by a whole crew. Seems like a bit more than the job description states.

Y''all so cute for thinking this has anything to do with learning to fly. This is television, baby - entertainment for the great unwashed:

The whole thing seems a bit too staged.

I hope he gave Pedro a good tip!

Seems a real flight centre

Did seem a bit staged. Who does a full spin on an intro? At least it was an Aerobat.
