I quote.................
"He was on his first solo flight and came quite close to a collision and was forced to do a spiral dive," trainee pilot Ben Zachariah said.
"He would have been doing circuits which means you are not more than 1,000 feet (305 metres) high and couldn't have had time to do it safely."
Both pilots were training through the RVAC and it was likely the dead trainee would have been receiving radio instruction from the club.
I dont think he would have had time to be forced to do anything. Obvious loss of controlability gave him no choice in where he was going to end up. Nor would there have been any time for radio comms between him and the club......
I wish the media would not print such rubbish.
Terrible tragedy on yr first Solo, my thoughts to all down there who have been affected by this.
