Naive question, is the Captain UOE check ride something that could cause unusual levels of anxiety? say like doing your driving test?
Also is it correct to say that the female pilot would have been in the left seat whilst the Check Airman would have been in the right seat acting out the role of first officer (even though he was PIC)?
There's a tragic and unnerving similarity in the final moments of this flight and the flight the female pilot's husband died in on 21 June 2006 mentioned in the article posted by
