This past weekend there was a fatal accident at the Flight School where I got my PPL. The student pilot was killed and the FI is in critical condition (life support).
I knew the instructor well. The aircraft was the one I first soloed in.
News of this accident came on the same day that I received my official offer.
The accident is currently under investigation. They were practicing forced landings.
I am experiencing a number of emotions. I am conflicted between grief and "I knew it was going to happen." Also, this is the first accident that has affected me... and I know that in my career there will be many more. Any suggestions with dealing with this?
There but for the grace of God go I.
