SerbiaDuring a flight training session in Argentina, a 22-year-old female student pilot was forced to land the plane herself after her instructor, 42-year-old Leandro Bertac, jumped out of the aircraft mid-flight. The incident occurred in a small plane, a Cesna C-150, during a lesson near the town of Toledo in the province of Córdoba. According to reports, Bertac opened the plane’s door and exited while the student was present. Despite witnessing his fall, she managed to safely land the plane at the airport where they had taken off and then informed the police of the emergency. Bertac was later found dead 20 minutes later in a nearby field. Investigators are examining possible mechanical failures or issues related to the plane’s safety systems, as well as exploring whether Bertac’s mental health could have played a role. The instructor, who previously identified himself as a former commercial pilot in Chile, had reportedly been seeing a neuropsychiatrist, though this information was known only to close family members before the incident.
