hope it wasn't his own fault it happened. Because that would make him not quite one of the best corporate pilots in Ireland.
Helimutt,
Not sure why you would make such an inconsiderate statement?
I too know the pilot involved and have flown with him before. I would agree with Robino and No Blades, he is very capable and experienced pilot, and a total professional. He also happens to be a thoroughly decent bloke. From the sketchy details so far its very unlikely to be 'his own fault'
Best wishes to him and his family, and lets hope he makes a speedy recovery.
BC.
