Well that’s one way to win an argument about whether the student is ready for landing or not.
He literally told her that much. Something along the lines of “you’re ready, you know what to do”… And off.
The instructor decided he was ready for a solo landing of his own.
First one on the ground wins!

Wow, I hope that young woman gets the help she needs.
She had help, he jumped from the plane.
Okay, this was a tragedy for the instructor, and traumatic for the student.
Now that we’ve established that, can we acknowledge that this situation is comedy gold?
Is she that bad a student, or that bad a conversationalist? I admit, I’ve had moments when I’ve wanted to throw myself out of a moving car, if it would end the conversation I’m having.
Can you imagine her radio call to the tower? “Um, yeah, he just…jumped. No, no parachute, just gone…Um, how do I get down from here?” “Well, today is the day you learn to land.”
In my head this a Bob Newhart stand up bit.
She’s probably traumatized but I hope one day she can work through it enough to see how fucking badass she is for doing this
“I go left now, good luck everybody else.”
Ah, here is my “wtf moment” of the day. I’d been looking everywhere for it.

Yes, she did.
No, he jumped out of the aircraft, his student managed to land the plane despite her being in shock.
I mean, he also landed…just faster
My automatic assumption was that you were asking if he stuck the landing, but I’m guessing you had assumed the student was male.

Huh? English doesn’t have grammatical gender. A “student” can be male, female, or non-binary.
In this case, a quick look at the article would tell you that the student pilot is female and yes, she did land the plane.
The Studentesse™ landed the plane safely.
