MVSW said:One of my best friends who fly's corporate, was in Waukesha WI (UES) yesterday. He said that he heard the folks in the fbo talking about a student pilot that was on his 3rd SOLO flight, had a fatal crash. Just wanted to know if anyone knows anything about this? This is very sad to the family and the CFI. I wonder if the CFI will get sued or lose in ratings.
Ya know, it is kind of disturbing to see that automatically blame must be assumed to be placed on someone other than the person responsible...the pilot. The airplane went in almost vertically. It could have been the result of many things. Pilot error, mechanical failure, pilot incapacitation, suicide, weather...the list goes on. I would place blame on the instructor at the very end of a very, very long list of probable causes.
