Advice Needed
I am a new CFI and was recently hired by a flight school that has a fleet of 172M’s. I was about to go on my checkout flight with the CP and I asked where the fire extinguisher was located. He stated that most of their planes didn’t have them and didn’t really have a reason. I asked what he would do in the event of an electrical fire and he said “land”. All of this gave me a bad feeling about the safety culture as a whole. I called off the flight and said I needed to think it over.
I’m now pondering on what I should do. If fire extinguishers are an unnecessary cost then what else has been skipped?
Should I suck it up and just buy a small one to carry with me? Or should I get the heck away from the place?
