Trained or untrained
The pilot who lost his life in this accident will not read any of the comments on this forum, thankfully. His family may, and that will be to the shame of those making comments here without knowing the whole story. Paul Bennett and others offering opinions into whether or not the pilot was "fully trained" have not covered themselves in glory. Let the investigators determine how and/or why this accident happened and let us all learn from their findings. In the meantime, just feel sympathy for the family of the accident victim.
