The tragic mid-air collision between two student pilots at Harv’s Air Pilot training school has left a profound impact on the tight-knit aviation community. Both aircraft, engaged in simultaneous landing approaches, collided just hundreds of yards from the runway. Despite the presence of standard radio communication tools, neither pilot appeared to have visual or radio contact, raising troubling questions about procedural lapses or technical failures. Investigators from the Transportation Safety Board are meticulously reviewing flight data and communication logs to uncover the precise sequence of events.

Families mourn the loss of young lives brimming with potential. Among them was 20-year-old Savanna May Royes, remembered as the “essence of pure joy,” whose bright future was abruptly extinguished. As the investigation continues, aviation experts emphasize the inherent risks of flight training and the urgent need to understand how such a rare tragedy could occur under controlled conditions. The answers sought will shape future safety measures and honor the memories of those lost.
