A US pilot school has suspended all solo flights for Cathay Pacific Airways Ltd. cadets after a number of training incidents that damaged planes and went unreported by the trainee aircrew.
Phoenix, Arizona-based AeroGuard Flight Training Center has told all Cathay cadets that “effective immediately, all solo flights are grounded” after AeroGuard saw “an alarming increase in solo incidents during cadet training,” according to a memo seen by Bloomberg News.
