As the investigation into Monday night's fatal Learjet crash continues, more information on the certifications of the two pilots onboard has come to light.

"What was done here was really a combination of errors in my opinion," said a commercial pilot and flight instructor Robert Katz.

He believes that the plane crash outside of El Cajon, which killed all four people on board, was entirely preventable.

"I believe this all boils down to a pilot who was in a hurry to terminate the flight," Katz told News. 8.

According to the National Transportation Safety Board, the plane had originally been on an instrument approach to runway 17 at Gillespie Field, but the pilot then requested a change to a visual approach to runway 27R.

"By canceling the instrument flight rules plan in minimal weather conditions is just rolling the dice with everyone's life," Katz said.
