Copilot killed in fiery Florida Learjet crash identified as 20-year-old who learned to fly before driving

The copilot aboard a private jet that crashed into a South Florida neighborhood Sunday, killing all nine people on board, has been identified as a 20-year-old aspiring airline pilot who earned her wings before getting her driver's license, according to a report.

Nathalia Gadelha Filgueiras' mother and stepfather confirmed to the commercial airline pilot.

In a recent social media post cited by the Post, she shared a video of herself flying with her boyfriend, Justin, highlighting their aviation accomplishments at such young ages.

"How often do you see 2 pilots under 21 with a commercial, multi-engine, instrument, CFI/CFI-I," she wrote, referring to several aviation certifications and instructor ratings.

The Learjet 60 departed Austin-Bergstrom International Airport in Texas and was headed to North Eleuthera Airport in the Bahamas when it crashed near Cresthaven, Florida, around 12:50 p.m. Sunday, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.

All nine people aboard the aircraft were killed, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy confirmed Sunday afternoon.

Air traffic control recordings captured by LiveATC.net revealed that the flight crew reported ice accumulation and turbulence before the aircraft began rapidly losing altitude, according to The Associated Press.

"We have light, clear ice that is manageable and moderate turbulence," a pilot told controllers.

The crew subsequently requested permission to climb another 2,000 feet before declaring an emergency as the aircraft plunged toward the ground.

"We're descending 8,000 — mayday, mayday — we're descending 10,000 feet per minute," a pilot radioed, according to the AP.

"We are in an overspeed condition descending 20,000 feet per minute," the pilot continued, before warning, "We're going to crash into the ground."

Dashcam footage captured the jet plunging nose-first into the neighborhood, as Fox News Digital previously reported.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis described the crash as "cataclysmic."

The crash also forced the evacuation of approximately 600 people from a nearby mobile home community, according to local officials.

The FAA and National Transportation Safety Board are investigating the crash. The cause has not been determined, and NTSB officials are expected to provide an update Monday.
