• Air Accident Investigation Branch report releases chilling images of the Piper Malibu jet 220ft down on of the bed of the Channel
  
• Investigators are trying to work out if the plane's instruments were giving the correct altitude readings before hitting the Channel;
  
• The plane did not have the permission to carry paying passengers and the pilot David Ibbotson did not have a commercial licence, only a private pleasure licence;
  
• Mr Ibbotson took a meandering route to Cardiff and made four descents within minutes of crash because he did not have the qualifications to fly with just instruments in bad weather (and yet went out in a storm );
  
• Around 15 seconds before the fatal crash he plunged at a rate of 7,000ft per minute - equivalent to around 90mph;

What's your source for this?

I was a flight engineer (civil aviation) and during the last 15 years I'm working several months of the year as a training consultant for commercial pilots.
The word within the aviation community is that the AAIB has yet to determine Ibbotson's status re his licence, although there are various rumours going around, so I'm interested to know where this info came from.

"The pilot of the plane that crashed with Cardiff City striker Emiliano Sala on board did not have a licence for commercial flights, investigators say.

The Air Accidents Investigation Branch confirmed David Ibbotson held a private pilot's licence, which meant he could not carry passengers for reward.

Its interim report said he could only fly passengers in the European Union on a cost sharing basis."

It was reported in the Daily Mail but I was posted a copy of the report before it was published so I could assist in the case.

But yeah, apology accepted.

How unseemly.

Split the difference. There, I've saved you an arbitration process and a bunch of legal fees.

but cost them each 7.5 mill

That £#%&!ing banner

Isn't there insurance for this sort of thing ?

Yeah but whose insurance will it be
Still going to be costly for the losing party

Doesn't help that the FAW have a history of bending rules to help out welsh clubs

Technically Nantes wouldn't be paying any money as the fee is all on Cardiff. They'd just be getting a potentially reduced fee. That said I'd be surprised if Cardiff are allowed to get away without paying. If Sala was registered as a Cardiff player by FIFA then you'd assume they'll have to pay.
