The pilot who died in the plane crash in which a Cessna plane crashed on Friday afternoon with three people on board, his friends and family have identified him and we know that he lived in Miami.
The young pilot is Hispanic of Mexican origin and was a commercial pilot who had been certified as a flight instructor a few years ago.
He was identified as Felipe Becerra Cárdenas and was a certified pilot.
The identity of one of the two fatalities in the plane crash was confirmed by the owner of the company “Icaro learn2fly” was flying for. The pilot training academy had Becerra as one of its certified instructors.
On social networks, his brother and other relatives write messages in his memory and mention the battle he went through to become an instructor.
Becerra had posted a video, as part of the pilots’ tradition when they fly solo for the first time, in which he receives a bucket bath of water.
The young man had struggled to fly unaccompanied because he only saw out of one eye, he said.
In the last few hours, an investigator from the National Transportation Safety Board said that they are going to investigate in depth the qualifications, medical examinations and experience of the pilot.
Also the operation of the Cessna-type single-engine plane that crashed on the airport grass.
They will do the same with the weather conditions.
The young man of Mexican origin lost his life when he was preparing to take off from the North Perry airport on a reconnaissance flight on Saturday around noon.
A student in the front seat was also killed and the third occupant of the small plane in the back is recovering at Memorial Regional Hospital here in Broward.
And in a few days we will have a preliminary report on what could have caused this tragedy.
