Plane crash: pilot was very familiar with the area

Andreas Lubitsch, co-pilot who apparently deliberately crashed the plane "German Wings", visited the crash site many times as a child with his parents. This was related by Francis Kaper, gliding club member in the town of Sistron, to television station i-Tele.

According Kaper, Lubitsch's family and other members of the gliding club in the town of Montebor, Germany, regularly arrived between 1996, when he was 8, to 2003. The crash area is about 60 km from the gliding field in Sistron.

Former partner of Andreas Lubitsch, the German pilot who intentionally crashed the "German Wings" plane in southern France, said he told her that "one day I will do something that will change the whole system," as reported by the German Büld.

The Ex Marie, 26 years old whose full name was not revealed, confirmed that Lubitsch previously stopped his training because of what was reported as 'burnout and depression'.


The European Aviation Safety Authority (EASA) ordered to night all airlines subject to it, to introduce a binding procedure in which will two crew members will be present in the cockpit at all times. This comes as a result of the lesson following the crash of the "German Wings" plane earlier this week.

Lufthansa Airlines has offered to transfer immediate financial support totaling EUR 50 thousand to families of the passengers and crew who died in the crash of the subsidiary "German Wings".

During the searches conducted by the police at the end of last week on the outskirts of Dusseldorf at Andreas Lubitsch's home, it found "a significant finding" which the police treats as a hint. For now, it is unknown what was found, but the police made it clear that this is not a suicide letter.

Among the missing in the air crash, was Eyal Baum (40), from Hod Hasharon, an Israeli with Israeli –Spanish citizenship who was on the flight 4U9525 which crashed last Tuesday, in the Alps in the south of France. So far there were no reports of survivors.
