This was a training flight under VFR rules (They were training to evacuate government officials in the case of a catastrophic event).39 year old - 1000 hrs
28 year old- 500 hrs
As you noted in your post, the 39 year old man, was the trainer and the woman was the trainee.
If the woman was at fault, it is probably understandable because she wasn't experienced enough.
Why then, didn't the more experienced 39 year old man, take steps to correct her errors?
