Trainee Indian Pilot Dies in Crash, but Saves Dozens of Children by Clever Manouevering
Ananth had been studying to be a pilot in Bangalore, India, for about a year before arriving in Australia two months ago on a student visa.
"He had plans of going to France and flying for Airbus or Boeing," Mysore said.
"He liked everything about Melbourne except the cold.
"He was a pretty social guy and got along well with everyone," Mysore said.
The flying school has many Indian students, and several went to the crash scene soon after the tragedy.
Student pilot Ben Zachariah said he did not know Ananth but was told he was on a solo flight.
"He was forced to do a spiral dive. He would have been doing circuits, which means you are not more than 1000 feet high, and couldn't have had time to do it safely," Mr Zachariah said.
Police said Ananth's parents in India had been told of the tragedy.
The crash sparked fresh calls for Moorabbin airport to reduce the volume of air traffic.
"This is not a safe environment for people living here," said Tom Uren, of Moorabbin Airport Residents Association.
"We've been waiting for this to happen.
"It chilled my blood when I heard about it.
"We are extremely lucky there was only one death.
"It could have been a terrible disaster."
Both aircraft have been in service for more than 30 years.
Civil Aviation Safety Authority spokesman Peter Gibson said they were among the most popular training planes in the country.
"Local residents shouldn't be concerned about these sort of things happening frequently. They don't," he said.

He had no choice in manouvering the plane in such a condition. If he could he could have saved himself. At such a low height such emergencies leave you no choice. Being someone who teaches others to fly i know. Please stop writing bullshit.
