And regarding the topic: One is not supposed to talk badly about deceased persons, but after watching a couple of her latest videos - partly in fast-forward-mode to be honest - I really wonder what she did in the cockpit during those (alleged) 400 hours of flying. If she had come to me for her instrument training I would have done everything that I can to persuade her to go boating or horse-riding instead of instrument flying. All her instructors who were not brave enough to tell her that share some responsabilty in the sad outcome.
