Compiled Nov 6
What we know
- The 20-year-old co-pilot Nathalia Gadelha Filgueiras died along with eight others when their Learjet crashed in Florida on Sunday.
- Her father, Allan Filgueiras, a pilot himself, has listened to her final radio transmissions many times.
- She had more than 1,300 hours of flight experience and completed extensive training to earn her commercial pilot's license.
- The family has no immediate plans to file a lawsuit over the crash.
- As the plane fell, it accelerated beyond its design limits, and pieces of the tail were found miles from the crash site.
- Victims included tech entrepreneur Adam Robinson, his wife Helen Sharp, their two children, nanny Ana María Ramírez Cetina, and captain Jeff Gregory, 55.
What we don’t know yet
- It is far too early in the NTSB's investigation to know what caused the crash.
Open questions
- What specifically caused the Learjet to fall from the sky?
- Why did ice build up on the plane before the crash?
- Will the NTSB investigation confirm a definitive cause?
- Could the family later decide to pursue legal action despite current plans?
