French Pilot Convicted for Decapitating Skydiver in Tragic Plane Incident

A French pilot has been found guilty of involuntary manslaughter and banned from flying for one year after decapitating a skydiver with the wing of his plane in 2018. The pilot, who was operating the plane from which the victim jumped, claimed he was not at fault and blamed the skydiver for not following the expected course. An investigation revealed that the pilot's license was invalid due to a medical condition, and the parachuting school he worked for was fined for not verifying the licenses of its pilots.

"Pilot Convicted for Decapitating Skydiver with Plane's Wing"

A pilot in France has been given a suspended sentence and banned from flying for a year after being found guilty of involuntary manslaughter for decapitating a skydiver with the wing of his plane in a mid-air collision. The pilot, identified as "Alain C," had not briefed the skydivers and wingsuiters on board and lost visual contact with them after they jumped. He claimed that the victim, an experienced skydiver, did not follow the expected course and should never have been on that path. The court highlighted a failure of communication between the pilot and the victim.
