Some of you may know my ex-wife started taking flying lessons about the time our divorce started (2001) and she got her license shortly before our divorce was settled (2002). Yesterday afternoon, she narrowly escaped injury in the aircraft she was piloting when she was forced to make an emergency landing in Southern Alberta because of bad weather. Some could call it a crash; an accident at the least. Our kids were with me at the Beach House this weekend so thankfully they are unscathed.

National Transportation Safety Board officials have issued a preliminary determination citing “pilot error” contributed to the accident. She was flying a single engine aircraft (a basic model, at best) in IFR (instrument flight rules) conditions while only having obtained a VFR (visual flight rules) rules. I have attached a photo of the crash site below:
