The report is our in the May 2017 bulletin.

It confirms the aircraft entered a spin from the exit from a loop and that it did not recover. The aircraft commander had all the right licences but had no chutes and had not had differences training on spin recovery for Firefly (different to Tutor and Tucano).

All pilots should learn a lesson or reinforce old knowledge from the loss of these 2 promising future combat aircrew. Get adequate training when changing type and always wear a parachute for aerobatics if available.
