Report Says Instructor, Student Fought for Controls Before East Hartford Plane Crash
A plane crash in East Hartford was the result of a flight student refusing to give up controls to his instructor, while apparently doing everything "backwards", a police report revealed.
East Hartford police Lt. Josh Litwin said in October that investigators had concluded the crash was "an intentional act," but noted that they hadn't been able to determine a motive.
New documents from witness accounts reveal that Arian Prevella, a flight instructor and the owner of American Flight Academy in Hartford, struggled with flying student, Feras Freitekh.
On Oct. 11, 2016, an investigation was launched after the twin-engine Piper PA 34 crashed with the two men aboard during a training flight around 3:30 p.m. near the Connecticut headquarters of military jet-engine maker Pratt & Whitney.
The plane was on its final approach to Brainard Airport when it crashed on Main Street and burst into flames, according to the FAA.
Prevalla escaped from the burning plane and was in fair condition at Yale-New Haven Bridgeport Hospital's burn, a hospital spokesman said.

And we’re still letting mooseSlime looking freaks take flying lessons? No demographic so stupid as white boys.
C’mon, it’s all coincidence I tells ya. Coincidence!/s
The Muslim loves murder.
One of my instructors used to carry a big, heavy flashlight for just such occasions.
That’s how I felt / quit after substitute teaching in the Inner City.
Farewell Fair Ass
Any flight instructor who would take a muslim up has a screw loose somewhere.
Thanks for the link.
It could be the NTSB wants to minimize the exposure of this story, at the prodding of another agency of government (FBI). I wouldn’t rule that out.
Since it wasn’t a mechanical failure or the traditional kind of pilot error, most of the tools of investigation they use are moot. There is no mystery to what happened, especially since there is eyewitness testimony (the surviving instructor).
They are probably wary of appearing to weigh in politically, so instead they choose not to issue a full report. It’s a “criminal investigation” not an accident investigation, in their view. Not their problem.
Ah. Thanks. I had only read one story on it, and it was unclear to me. Not good no matter how you cut it.
If I remember correctly the P&W training center is very near the crash site. The target?
Farewell Fair Ass
What does that mean?
Allah’s Will.
What flight instructor would agree to take a student with an Arabic name? Both were apparently intent on suicide.
Moslems are so inscrutable. One can never understand why they do what their “bible” tells them to do.
What technique will be next?
The more the Islamic savages are getting defeated in Iraq, the more creative will be their murderous tactics on the local level....i.e., local cities, towns and hamlets around the world.
President Trump is manfully doing all he can to protect us...and he needs our support and prayers in the face of the dark forces working against him.

Everyone is seeing Sudden Jihad Syndrome here but I’ve spent a lot of time around Muslims and they have very fragile egos and cannot take criticism like a normal adult. My bet is the student pilot was screwing up and refused to admit to it and was being childish. I think anyone who has spent a lot of time around Muslims will know this is how they act.
Well Allahwahoo Whackbar?
Deport. ALL. moslems!
The crash was very near Pratt. Scary.
