A US federal agency has confirmed the identity of the co-pilot who died in a private jet crash in Florida. The crash occurred on Monday near Tampa. The co-pilot was identified as a man in his 40s. The pilot was also killed in the incident.
Emergency services responded quickly to the crash site. No survivors were found. The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating the cause of the crash. The aircraft was a small private jet.
This is the second aviation incident in Florida this month. A similar crash occurred in Miami last week, though no fatalities were reported. The recent crash has raised questions about safety protocols for small private aircraft. The NTSB is expected to release a preliminary report within the next week.
