Flight Instructor Dies After Jumping From Plane, Student Lands Aircraft Alone in ArgentinaPreviousNext

In central Argentina's Toledo, flight instructor Leandro Andrés Bertazzo, 42, died after jumping out of a Cessna 150 during a training flight with 22-year-old student Rosario. Before exiting, Bertazzo reportedly told the student, "You know what you have to do," then removed his headset and seatbelt. The student, left alone, managed to land the plane safely. The flying school's director expressed shock, noting no prior signs of such behavior. An investigation is ongoing to clarify the circumstances.
