Change My Mind

Actually, she was the copilot. Her primary responsibility was communication while the pilot flew the plane. The plane flew into a severe storm, encountering extreme turbulence. It appears the stabilizer broke off the plane.
The pilot had requested deviation for flight path around the storm.

But I wouldn’t be surprised if the plane’s wheels had rim damage🤣

I'm sure this won't be a popular opinion on the internets, but it's one I developed during decades of flying:

A flight crew is a team. A pilot with weak skills degrades the performance of the team.

Also, either pilot can manipulate the flight controls; transfer of flight controls between pilots is routine. You wanna take a sip of your coffee? You transfer controls to the other pilot.

Bonus round: stay away from thunderstorms. I've been in aircraft which were damaged by flying too close to thunderstorms. Management chewed our asses and we leveled up a few IQ points.

Double bonus round: once upon a time, while flying low under the clouds in Alabama, I happened to see a swirley cloud off the right wing. Stay away from those things too.

It makes one wonder what the weather report was they looked at before takeoff. And also how much it changed in flight. Sounded like they were requesting directions around storm after they encountered turbulence.
