Turns out he was PP-ASEL-IA with 150 hours. However, Because he was on a training flight he is a "student pilot". <sigh>
At least the guy later in the article sets them straight.
Also, kudos to the pilot. Regardless of the reason for the accident...he kept his wits about him and survived a night in the snowy mountains.
