A flight instructor in Argentina dies after jumping from a Cessna aircraft during a training flight, forcing his student to take control and land alone, multiple reports say. The incident occurs over Toledo in central Argentina on July 4. According to US reports carried by an outlet citing a CNN affiliate, the instructor, 42-year-old Leandro Andrés Bertazzo, is flying a Cessna 150 (Cessna C150) with a 22-year-old student named Rosario. The instructor removes his headset and seatbelt, tells the student to continue, opens the aircraft door, and jumps out mid-flight. The student reports watching him fall and says she initially thought a parachute had been deployed, but later realized it had not. The student then raises the alarm and pilots the plane unaided, landing safely at Coronel Olmedo Airport near Córdoba, a common training field for flight schools. Bertazzo’s body is recovered after the flight, with reports placing its discovery about 20 minutes later in a nearby field. Flight school director Eduardo Álvarez says the instructor showed no prior warning signs and had completed another flight earlier the same day. Investigators say the circumstances are unusual and review the aircraft and flight-school documentation, including potential issues with a hatch or safety system and related communications.
