Because when you're a student it's easy to fuck up and break things. Clipping trees cuz he came in at the wrong angle, landing too hard and fucking up the landing gear, colliding with a telephone wire, you get the idea. Now imagine all of that studentness and also your instructor just committed suicide. Now that's in your brain too. So yeah it's irrelevant fact.
