Light aircraft gone down from Nantes to Cardiff near Guernsey last night?

[Pedro de la Rosa]

The decision to fly is always the pilot's. He/ she would be the one to assess whether they felt the plane was safe to fly. Unfortunately, this looks like the wrong decision has been made, if all we are hearing is true. Until we have the full investigation, we won't know.

And we shouldn't speculate until then. It's wrong and won't do any good.

He really is gone isn't he?

The longer we go without news then I’d imagine so. Survival time in the water was probably only a couple of hours given the sea surface temperature.

'fraid so.
RIP Emi. We will never know.

Aircraft was owned by the football club? meaning us? And he complained to someone it was bumpy on the previous journey. Not good.

Don’t give them the attention, to be so sociopathic all isn’t right with their lives.

I read somewhere it was Tans

If only he hadn't have postponed his signing and transfer last week so he could play 1 last game for Nantes, he may still have been alive today. Sad.

A very valid point about why he was being flown in a single engine aircraft over the Channel at night with an approaching front (snow?), at relatively low altitude (5,000 ft).

Yes, always baffles me to think in these situations that literally everything, down to the most miniscule event, at least up until he decided to board the plane has contributed to him being there at that time. Boggles the mind.

A pilot on talksport said that all commercial charter flights over water would use twin engines as you always have a back up and that it must have been a private flight.
He was spot on unfortunately.

Correct. Which begs the question why a private flight in a single engine aircraft was a good idea. And did the pilot have the correct qualifications? I do hope it doesn't transpire that pressure was put on the pilot to get him to Cardiff in time for training this morning, just for publicity's sake or similar.

Again, let's not jump to any conclusions.
