A senior goverment minister on a "charted" Seneca 1.....one newspaper suggesting that the trainee, from a local flight school at the controls, and the instructor in the RHS.
Lost an engine, over the water, lost control, and crashed.
Clip as URL above:
Lucero also revealed his initial findings that the chartered flight taken by Robredo was also a training flight for the Nepalese student.
He said it is common practice among flying schools to allow the student pilot to take over while the pilot instructor seated at right observes, as was the case in several crashes involving light planes.
“It was a double income, the student pays for the training (flight) time (while) at the same the passenger pays for the chartered flight,” he said.
The minimum pay for every flying hour is P27,500 while the chartered flight, which is negotiable, depends on the distance of travel.
According to Lucero, he earlier warned Robredo on the danger of taking chartered flights, pointing out the uncertain status of the aircraft due to the “non-appearance” practice in issuance of airworthy certificates by erring CAAP officials.
A can of worms standing by to be opened.
I have 200+ on Seneca 1, and agree not nice on 1, or even 2....LOL....
Just back for that country, and surprised that the rest of the aviation media not that interested.....what to do.
