The Federal Aviation Administration is still trying to figure out what caused the twin-engine Piper Seminole aircraft to crash and catch fire during takeoff during a flight school training exercise.
Records show the plane was owned by Melbourne flight school FIT Aviation LLC.
The plane was heading back to Melbourne from the Bahamas during a training exercise. Officials say the crew had just cleared customs and refueled when the accident happened.
