The instructor should not leave students alone in the cockpit, and safety rules were further tightened after the accident of airplane GermanWings, when the co-pilot who had the same type of aircraft, refused to let the captain in the cabin, which he briefly left. The co-pilot was alone and instead of opening the door to the captain, he presumably deliberately crashed the plane.

The recording was, says Index, although quickly removed from the profile of student pilot, was visible long enough to get the information to superiors of Croatian Airlines.

The airline does not deny that the incident occurred:

- About event that you mention, the procedure of internal investigation has been started, as required by the operating manual of the company, which is aligned with the requirements of aviation regulations - is in response of CA spokesman. He added that Josip Grgec was not dismissed from the position of chief pilot, without specifying how the procedure is conducted.

A student pilot has paid for his education, and pilots upon a satisfying formal education and performed "ground school", simulators, etc. - learn to manage certain types of aircraft. The costs is payed by the company, but the pilot undertakes to work for the company for some time.
