Part 2/8:

The flight had begun with high hopes and excitement among the seven crew members onboard, which included four trainee pilots, an instructor, a safety pilot, and an inspector from the Estonian Civil Aviation Authority. The main objective was to provide the trainees with hands-on experience in flying the A320, having previously honed their skills using simulators. Little did they know that the day's events would escalate beyond their worst fears, ultimately jeopardizing their lives.

As the trainees took turns practicing takeoff, go-rounds, and touch-and-go landings, a recurring caution message indicated a pitch fault in one of the aircraft's computers. Initially deemed a minor issue, the instructors attempted to reset the computer, unaware of the implications that failure would soon unleash.
