During a parachute operations flight conducted from Clonbullogue Airfield (EICL), Co. Offaly, the aircraft, with one Pilot and four Skydivers on board, experienced uncharacteristic engine vibrations and a reduction in power. It was unable to continue its climb and the Pilot elected to return to the airfield. During the return, the engine power reduced further and a short time later the engine failed completely. The Pilot conducted an emergency landing on Runway 09. During the landing, the aircraft skidded sideways along the grass runway and came to a stop on a tarmac area beyond the end of the runway. The Pilot and four Skydivers were uninjured and evacuated the aircraft. The aircraft engine was subsequently found to have sustained substantial damage. There was no fire. |

During an exercise intended to teach the paramotor Student to kite and control a paramotor wing (canopy) above his head, the paramotor inadvertently became airborne. The Student who was being supervised by an Instructor, released the throttle instantly but did not use the 'Kill switch/button' to fully de-power the engine. On contacting the ground, the Student fell over on his left side and his left hand made contact with the spinning propeller, injuring two of his fingers. The Student attended a hospital emergency department for immediate treatment, and subsequently underwent surgery at a second hospital. |

Following a re-positioning flight from Coventry Airport (EGBE), UK, the twin-engine aircraft, with a Pilot and two passengers on board, touched down firmly at Abbeyshrule Aerodrome (EIAB). The aircraft veered to the right and departed the paved surface of the runway. The Pilot applied left rudder and brake, and also increased power in the right engine in an attempt to steer the aircraft back on to the runway. However, due to soft ground, the aircraft continued turning to the right and came to a stop on an adjacent grassed area south of the runway. All three blades of the right propeller sustained damage and the right main gear tyre was found to have deflated. The Pilot and passengers were uninjured. There was no fire. |

The Pilot of the helicopter contacted the Flight Information Service (FIS) at Shannon ATC at 14:32 hrs on the day of the accident to report that he was departing from Ballygarret, Co. Wexford, 'enroute to Rosslare and then over to Kilrush Airfield'. At 14:58 hrs, the Pilot contacted Shannon FIS to advise that he was 'lifting out of Rosslare for Kilrush Airfield', which is located in Co. Kildare. At 15:26 hrs, the Pilot reported to Shannon FIS that he was 'switching now to Kilrush frequency'. The radar data indicates that at 15:32 hrs, when the helicopter was approximately 0.7 nautical miles (NM) to the south-west of Kilrush Airfield and at an altitude of approximately 1,900 feet (ft), it turned right (north-east). The radar data also indicates that the helicopter continued generally north-eastwards past Kilrush and towards the Kennycourt area, which is also in Co. Kildare and located approximately 6.7 NM north-east of Kilrush Airfield. The last recorded radar position was approximately 0.3 NM (556 m) south-east of the accident site at 15:45 hrs. The data indicates that the helicopter was at an altitude of approximately 1,600 ft at this stage. Video footage obtained by the Investigation briefly showed the helicopter descending in a steep nose-down attitude in the final moments of the flight. A post-crash fire occurred that was subsequently extinguished by local fire services. |

During take-off from Runway 24 at Spanish Point Airfield (EISP), Co Clare, the tandem seat
gyroplane, with one pilot and one passenger on board, encountered a gust of wind from the
south-east which caused the gyroplane to depart from the runway centre line. The Pilot was
unable to prevent the gyroplane from veering towards a boundary fence to the right of the
runway where the main rotor struck a fence post. The gyroplane eventually came to rest on
its left side and facing in the opposite direction to the departure runway. The Pilot was
seriously injured in the accident. The gyroplane sustained substantial damage. There was no
fire |
