The NTSB has released a preliminary report on the deadly plane crash in Giles County that killed a father and daughter.

pilot error while manipulating the auto-pilot. She should have bought a Flight Simulator license instead of a plane. Her flight academy should be investigated for giving licenses to such a trainee.

Sad situation. She should have never been issued a Pilot's License. Her skills were poor at best. Hopefully those who "signed off" on her skills will be held accountable.

the cause, she didnt know what hell she was doin, end of report

[bananafanafoferry]

She wasn’t too bright. Had zero knowledge of how the plane actually worked.

She got her license strictly for social media purposes…..she was clues behind those controls. Smdh

These aren't toys or backdrops for selfies.

In future flight instructors should not dole out flight licenses based solely on the student having money and great boobs.

Well first of all she didnt take her pilots license exam or instructions in this aircraft she flew a cessana 172 that we all start in a very easy basic forgiving airplane that u can learn and grow your skills ....so lets not blame others like instructors ect .

She went on her on and bought this complex airplane with very little flight time an decicded to figure it out on her own or her non pilot licensed dad ..

If she would have called any flight school in tn someone knows this aircraft an could have took her up and trained her in it for like 100 a hr ....i think personally u stay in a cessna a good yr build lots of time then if u buy a new aircraft reach out for instruction .

Ironic the plane she was in has videos all over youtube on all of it set up .
I myself was trained in tn an the instructor waa top notch .. what killed her and her dad is a complex aircraft she didnt know or had skills to fly . Pilot error not anyone elses fault but hers .

[annieoops]

She was always trying to make emergencies for her videos to get more views..hopefully that isnt what happened here but it seems likely.

That anchorwoman's dress....MY EYES!

[jeffreyknight]

Beauty got her pilot license not her knowledge.

[LFMC]

She simply couldn't fly a plane and someone is responsible for it! Didn't the school (or any kind of aviation authority) see her terrifying videos?!

[MeaHeaR]

Apparently she waz confused by the auto-piloté, from what blanco described she may have tapped up up up on the AP without applying power then stalled it, then applied full power in the divé ????
interestingly her heading didunt chayngé

[t.s.]

These situations are only going to get worse with DEI hiring practices.

[coderider]

If airplane, she would have declared emergency.

[ltapex]

400 hundred hours flying time, working on obtaining her instrument certification. LOL so many DH that started their licenses with 1000 hours of credit on the book who talk garbage.
