What a selfish shitty thing to do to someone

During the flight, Bertazzo allegedly told Rosario, “You know what to do” before removing his headset, arranging his belongings, taking off his seatbelt and exiting the aircraft.

Importantly, the article also says she was trained, but still needed some hours with an instructor or pilot before being allowed to fly solo. He must have decided his other student that day wasn't ready but felt she'd be safe without him. Better than some suicidal pilots who have crashed the whole plane.

If the student had a PPL, it's likely she was training with him (a commercial pilot) for her IL instrument license, the next step up from PPL. Means she was qualified to land in clear weather.

He wasn't putting her in physical peril. But it's still a terrible mental burden to put on someone else.

Bertazzo had completed another lesson earlier that day without incident

Without… jumping to his death…? Sometimes this standard journalistic phrasing just kills me. I shouldn’t be laughing

I will never understand why people do things like this. You want to end your life? Cool. Why do you feel this need to traumatize and/or murder others in the process?

Also really, really wish we as a species took mental health more seriously.

'Fuck me, you're a bad pilot. I'm going to take my chances out there'.

Just a quibble.

They said the instructor died 'mid-flight'

Technically, he died at the end of HIS flight.

Entertainment section

This sort of this should get websites permabanned from Lemmy as a source.

Fuck you, dexerto

> Is a licensed fly instructor
> Can not fly

Is the thumbnail photo of the instructor who killed himself?

Categorized as "entertainment".

Incredibly cruel. What a monster.

student pilot successfully landed a plane by herself

Illustration picture is a man.

This is infuriating.

Man, I thought i disappointed some teachers.

I don’t think Bertazzo died “mid-flight”

Ah, a regular article for the "entertainment" category.

Are we sure she didn't kick him out? Seems very sus

"Authorities initially looked at whether a mechanical issue with the aircraft may have played a role, but local reports say investigators are now treating the case as a possible suicide."

this sounds like a suicide but... now hear me out. what if it was the hydraulic systems fault?

Good way to fake your death and ensure your student gets famous. Win-win.

Despite the shocking turn of events, Rosario managed to... safely bring the Cessna back to the airfield without damaging the aircraft.

What a bizarre thing to say. Well, phew, I guess. Lucky the aircraft wasn't damaged by the single female pilot who already had her licence and was just building up hours. Me and all other males in the world would have expected her woman-brain to take over and cause her to panic-land while doing a backflip and simultaneously rolling her ankle or some shit apparently.

I'm seriously struggling to understand why "without damaging the aircraft" was added to the sentence.
