A National Transportation Safety Board preliminary report released Wednesday said the flight school purchased the single-engine plane three weeks before the crash that killed a flight instructor and student. They have been identified as Stanley Sands, 76, and Ana Matias, 20.
The small plane in a crash that killed a young woman and her instructor at Palm Beach County Park Airport had problems with a corroded pulley system, according to the NTSB's preliminary report.
Ana Matias says her niece, 20-year old Isabela Diego Matias, was taking one of her final flight lessons when she and her instructor, 76-year old Stanley Sands, were killed.
