Just to let all concerned know I have spoke to the pilot this evening involved in the incident. At this point I am unsure of what information is allowed to be disclosed suffice it to say that it was an aircraft malfunction and the pilot did an incredible job of dealing with the emergency and landing it away from a populated area. The pilot has back injuries associated with autorotation but is holding up well and the IAAIU are investigating. Yes the aircraft is owned now by Kildare Aviation not Ballymore
