An aviation student from Scotland has been killed alongside her brother when the light aircraft they were in came down in central Florida.<\/p>\n

Carly Beattie, 21, who was studying for an air transport degree, was flying the Cessna 152 that crashed on Thursday in a swampy area near Blue Cypress Lake.<\/p>\n

Her brother, Daniel Beattie, 24, was a passenger.<\/p>\n

Authorities in Florida said the pair, from the Edinburgh area, were visiting Merritt Island with their parents.<\/p>\n

End Quote<\/span> Sheriff Deryl Loar<\/span><\/div>\n

Reports from the US said the plane had nosedived and hit a tree.<\/p>\n

In a statement, Sheriff Deryl Loar, from Indian River Country in Florida, said: “The siblings and their parents were visiting from Scotland and staying in Merritt Island.<\/p>\n

“Due to outstanding cell phone tower analysis by BCSO Agent Hart, Brevard County Sheriff’s Office was able to pinpoint the cell phone tower where the victim’s cell phone was receiving a signal.<\/p>\n

“It was determined that the cell phone was receiving a signal in a wooded area near Yeehaw Junction and Blue Cypress Lake in Indian River County.<\/p>\n

“The airplane was located where it had crashed in a wooded area within two miles from the cell phone tower. Both pilot and passenger were found deceased.”<\/p>\n

Support for family<\/span><\/p>\n

Ms Beattie was in the US as part of her degree course at Buckinghamshire New University, in High Wycombe in Buckinghamshire, where she was studying air transport with commercial pilot training.<\/p>\n

Vice chancellor Professor Ruth Farwell said: “Our thoughts are with Carly’s family and friends at this difficult time and we are actively supporting fellow students on the air transport with commercial pilot training course.”<\/p>\n

A spokeswoman for the Foreign and Commonwealth Office said: “We can confirm the deaths of two British nationals in Florida following a plane crash on June 9.<\/p>\n

“Our consulate in Orlando are in touch with next of kin and are offering consular support at this extremely difficult time.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
