There is no civil aviation authority to investigate this type of event? 

Who licences the planes and pilots?

It has been very windy all day today, probably caught out by a gust of wind.

2 people die and you find it amusing? Sad or what?

It looks like a private small aircraft. whether it was technical or mechanical failure, will take

a while unless the survivors can describe what happened. Nothing to make stupid, uncaring comments at, but what can be said of some commenters.

There is an ‘authority’ here, but I think it is mainly a building where coffee and chats occur. Airline standards here are (or at least were) lowered so a pass can be achieved with little to no criticism or further training given once command gained. The fragile ego could not be threatened, as most of the time it was the only thing that performed at all. A commercial cockpit relies upon a ‘challenge and response’ environment to operate safely. The culture in this part of the world hardly encourages that and it was something I never saw. I find it hard to imagine that light aircraft training or ops don’t follow a similar pattern.

One of my favourite entries in a student pilot record file...’this student sets a very low standard they consistently fail to acheive’
