Andreas Lubitz: Everything we know about Germanwings plane crash co-pilot

French aviation reports revealed co-pilot Andreas Lubitz, 27, who crashed Germanwings Flight 4U9525 in the French Alps, had practised descent on prevoius flight

 Fatherhood: Speaking to investigators, the girlfriend of Germanwings co-pilot Andreas Lubitz has quashed rumours she was pregnant with his child.
Reports she was carrying his child or undergoing a personal crisis of her own were “speculation and rumour”, CNN quoted an unnamed European government official as saying.


Andreas Lubitz searched online for suicide and cockpit doors
Andreas Lubitz conducted Internet research on “cockpit doors” and “suicide” days before crashing a Germanwings plane into the French Alps, German prosecutors revealed on Thursday.
• Practised descent on previous flight
Prosecutors believe 27-year-old German co-pilot Andreas Lubitz locked the captain out of the cockpit and veered the plane into an early descent on a flight from Barcelona to Duesseldorf on March 24.
German newspaper Bild, citing sources close to France's BEA crash investigation agency, said an interim report that BEA was planning to publish would say that Lubitz had practised reducing flight altitude on the outbound flight from Duesseldorf to Barcelona the same day as the crash.
