It's kind of funny to listen to ESPN try to cover this. Jeremy Schaap, who is a good journalist, clearly is struggling to dumb things down enough for the audience.

For example, he was talking about how if Lidle was flying, his wife loses some money. On the other hand, if the instructor was flying, then Lidle's widow gets the money.

But Schaap had to explain that there are two sets of flight controls on the airplane. So he said something like, on this airplane, just like anyone, both the pilot and the copilot can fly the airplane with their own controls.
