2 of the 3 occupants were Dutch students at the NLS - Nederlandse Luchtvaartschool - in Hoofddorp (near AMS). The 3 person on board was a 27-year old Spanish flight instructor.

Edited: some news sources mention that the flight instructor was Portugese.

De Telegraaf, the biggest newspaper from The Netherlands, today says that - translated - "fellow students from the two victims have expressed their worries about the technical condition from the crashed plane" - unquote. De Telegraaf continues: "because the wreckage and parts of the wreckage have been found over a large distance, there is a possibility that the aircraft broke up in mid air".

The aircraft was leased from BAFA Antwerp since June 2009. Intermediate for the lease by the NLS (Nederlandse Luchtvaartschool) apparently was CAE Canada (http://www.cae.com) which declined to comment on this stage.

Maintenance after June 2009 was done at the Evora flying school in Portugal.

It's cheap (unprofessional and much to early) from these 'fellow' wanna be pilots, to point to maintenance and/or technical conditions.

Probably they're saying "If it ain't Dutch, it ain't much" typical Dutch

These guys were in their final stage of Professional Flight training and should have known ....
The pilot in command (PIC) of an aircraft is the person aboard the aircraft who is ultimately responsible for its operation and safety during flight.

Officially these 'fellow' wanna be pilots were not in charge (Pilot in Command), but if these guys felt unsafe / uncomfortable, have serious maintenance doubts or whatever, they shouldn't 'have' accepted the airplane in the FIRST place.

Without jumping into early conclusions (everything could have happened), on December 1, 1994 the same FTO (Flying school) lost ..... 'relatively' widely component scattered PA34 Seneca (see German Accident report H E R E)
