A brief summary is :
(1). David Ibbotson was colourblind so unable to fly after sunset +30 mins or before 30mins before sunrise.
(2). David Ibbotson was a private pilot who was only cleared to fly in daylight hours due to his colourblindness.
(3). David Ibbotson was operating outside the privileges of his pilots licence by conducting this flight at night.

There are other bullet points I could add but I have covered them in numerous other posts on this messageboard and I am pretty sure that the report from the AAIB will cover them to back up everything I have posted since the accident.

The remit of the AAIB is to undertake safety investigations to establish the cause of accidents. They do not apportion blame or liability.
Any investigation into the bullet points mentioned in summary will & is being taken by the UK Civil Aviation Authority and the Federal Aviation Administration as are any investigations into who was involved in the flight arrangements.
All of this was posted on the PPRUNE website hours and days after the crash. I could have repeated it on here, but I decided to stick to the known facts such as the weather, the descent to 2,300ft and the lack of a mayday call. Some people on here called me a know-it-all who thinks he knows everything.They must have some serious problems when it comes to understanding the difference between facts and speculation. I think people just want to believe what they think is true, even if there is no basis in fact for those beliefs
