Please explain your post. Most of us don't have a clue what you're referring to.

The trainee pilot had his cellphone on him when he was thrown from the plane

Wonder if he had time to call 911?

I worked with a guy who was also a flight instructor on the side. I (nervously) declined. I later read about a non-fatal accident involving him and a student pilot at a local airport. About 30 years later, he was arrested after arranging to fly to another airport in Massachusetts (Norwood) to meet an underage girl for sex. His wife and son were shown on TV at his arraignment. I felt sorry for them.

Be careful whom you fly with.

My first flight lesson was "Avoid the edges of the sky, rocks live in clouds, and hit the softest, cheapest thing around, going as slowly as possible."

That and preflight.

I’m guessing this man committed suicide.
