It was a moment of hope for Anju Khatiwada, who was about to take her captain's exam. She had been a pilot on the ill-fated flight in Nepal, and her husband had perished in a similar accident while working for the same company 16 years ago. The captain of the plane was Kamal KC, an experienced instructor with 35 years of experience. Unfortunately, it appears that his expertise wasn't enough to pass the exam. According to reports from the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal (CAAN), Khatiwada failed her test and will not be able to become a captain anytime soon. This is yet another tragedy for this family, as they have already suffered so much loss over the past 16 years. The CAAN has released a statement expressing their condolences for Khatiwada and her family and offering their support during this difficult time. They also mentioned that they are currently investigating what went wrong during the exam and why Khatiwada failed despite having such an experienced instructor at her side. This news has come as a shock to many in Nepal's aviation industry, as KC had been considered one of the best instructors in the country. His students often praised him for his knowledge and dedication to teaching them how to fly safely and responsibly. However, it appears that even he could not help Khatiwada pass her test this time around. Khatiwada's failure serves as yet another reminder of how dangerous flying can be and how important it is for pilots to remain vigilant at all times when operating an aircraft. It also highlights just how difficult passing these exams can be, even when one has an experienced instructor guiding them through every step of the process. Our thoughts go out to Anju Khatiwada and her family during this difficult time, as well as all those affected by this tragedy in Nepal's aviation industry today. We hope that lessons can be learned from this incident so that future pilots may have better luck passing their exams without any further losses or tragedies occurring again in our skies anytime soon.
