I admire her skills, no doubt about that. But some papers exaggerate a teenyweeny bit to sell copies, I’m sure the pilot was cool about the landing- the trauma of somebody committing suicide like that in front of you is terrible.

A student pilots license can be acquired by going to the local airport and asking for one. There is no testing or requirements to get one, just an application. Once your instructor is confident you can fly they can endorse you to fly solo.
In the US you only need 40 hours of flight time to get a Private Pilot license. To fly commercially for a job, you need 190 or 250 depending on if you go to a college flight program.
Apart of those 40 hours of flying, 10 of them must be solo hours. So this pilot has absolutely landed by themselves before.

This is usually what I would think of when I hear student pilot. Most of them just need enough hours and know how to fly just fine.
