Note the difference in causation in the phrase, “[The crash] is very serious,” said Raymond Hung Chung-man, the department’s senior airworthiness officer. “Our preliminary understanding so far is that [the aircraft] seemed to have lost control.”.. In most countries, the pilot loses control of the aeroplane. Especially doing aerobatics after three months experience, weekends only in HKG

I understand the caution from a man in a position to be criticised for stating something that may pre-judge an inquiry, but we see the same with car accident reports in HK. The car always goes out of control, the driver does not lose control.

I wish the young man a speedy recovery and a chance to get back flying again.
