Somebody needs to pull their license
This is INSANE to have this many crashes and fatalities from this so called school in such a short time. Something is VERY very wrong with this whole picture.
Four people are dead after a midair collision between a Piper PA-34 and a Cessna 172 over the Florida Everglades around 1 p.m. local time on Tuesday. The victims have been identified as Jorge A. Sanchez, 22, Ralph Knight, 72, Nisha Sejwal, 19, and Carlos Alfredo Carpati, 22. Neither aircraft had filed a flight plan and there were no emergency communications prior to the crash.
The aircraft were found nine miles west of Miami Executive Airport (TMB) in an area accessible only by boat or helicopter. It has been reported that both aircraft were operated by Dean International flight school and were likely on training flights when the collision occurred. The FAA and NTSB are investigating.
FAA and NTSB records show that Dean International has been involved in at least eight accidents and incidents in the last five years, the most recent of which occurred in May when one of the school's Cessna 152s entered a spin and collided with terrain, seriously injuring the two people onboard. Tuesday?s midair is the third fatal crash for the flight school since 2013.

With hundreds of students flying thousands of hours one can expect a plane to get bent by a student landing solo, usually the front strut gets bent along with the firewall. It happens, and it is as rare as hens teeth for any injuries to result.
This so called school has serious deficiencies when you see fatal crashes like they have had.
A clearing turn before maneuvers is a standard practice, you are trained to do it. The idea is you turn and look for other aircraft before you start practicing maneuvers. THAT WAY YOU DON'T HIT ANOTHER AIRCRAFT!0 -
A couple years ago, a local helicopter & light plane had a mid-air collision. Those on the chopper died, but the plane was equipped with an automatically deploying parachute; the pilot & passenger walked away from the landing.
I guess not everyone wants to make that investment in safety.
