An Argentinian flight instructor died after jumping from a training plane mid-flight, leaving his student to land the aircraft alone.

Authorities say 42-year-old Leandro Andrés Bertazzo, a commercial pilot and instructor, told his 22-year-old student, "You know what you have to do, carry on," before removing his headset, opening the door of the Cessna 150, and jumping.

The student, who already held a pilot's license, safely landed the plane.

Argentinian authorities are investigating the incident.
