The “Dauphine” Article is reserved to subscribers unfortunately , but when I read in the trailer that GA pilots are “ amateurs pilots” i am not sure I need to read the rest .
In here the pilot was a journalist well known in France , 73 years old with good experience in the club and flying an easy aircraft ( DR400) on a relatively easy local route .Weather played a role as well as pressure to get there ( a concert of this half brother , a well known french singer)
we’ve seen a lot of these kind of accidents before unfortunately.
