The pilot had no fixed job, was divorced, and lived alone, and reportedly suffered from insomnia and anxiety. Authorities stated that Liu had deviated from his approved flight area and lost contact with the airport before crashing. The incident raised concerns about security in Beijing, particularly regarding airspace control and restrictions. Liu held a sport pilot license and a private pilot license, but it remains unclear how the plane entered restricted airspace.
