The CQUniversity student, who is studying a Bachelor of Accident Forensics, helped three investigators examine the incinerated wreckage of the aircraft which hit a tree and burst into flames in rural Canterbury, killing the pilot.
Danielle is completing a summer internship with the Safety Investigation Unit of New Zealand's Civil Aviation Authority (CAA).
"From day to day, I'm working on a safety research project which draws on my academic knowledge and will hopefully be of good use to the CAA when I finish here," she said.
"As investigations arise, I've been getting the opportunity to go and learn from the investigators attending. I've also been able to spend some time with different units and parts of the CAA. Every day has been full of learning new things and meeting new people."
