Unlicensed Pilot Arrested For Offering Flight Instruction

Was Involved In An Accident That Fatally Injured A Passenger In 2016

A pilot from Queens, NY who had his airman privileges revoked following a fatal accident in 2016 has been arrested for offering flight instruction to students last year.

The New York Post reports that Nelson Gomez has been charged with giving flight instruction without proper certification. Gomez, 39 from Howard Beach, NY, was the instructor during a flight in February, 2016 that went down, resulting in the fatal injury of 23-year-old Gerson Negron. The Piper Archer had two other students on board.

All four survived the initial impact with the water, and Gomez and the other students were rescued by Suffolk County Police. But Negron's body was not found until April of 2016.

Gomez surrendered his pilot certificate as required by the FAA in May of 2016, but court documents indicate he continued to offer instruction until May of 2016, when the credentials expired.

He is scheduled for an appearance in Brooklyn Federal Court on Wednesday to face felony charges.
