At 21:02 hrs on 01 July 1999 the Helvick Lifeboat and the Irish Air Corps Dauphin, DH248, located at Waterford Regional Airport, were launched, in very bad visibility, to assist in locating a boat reported lost off Dungarvan. In the event, Helvick Lifeboat located the casualty and subsequently requested DH248 to provide navigational assistance back to Helvick Pier, as the Lifeboat's GPS (navigation system) was not functioning correctly.
The DH248 crew were advised that the weather conditions at Waterford Airport were deteriorating. The Aircraft Commander decided to return to base. DH248 carried out two unsuccessful Instrument Landing System (ILS) approaches to Runway (RWY) 21 at Waterford Airport. The Aircraft advised Waterford Control Tower that they were then going to carry out a "coastal approach". During a probable go-around from this approach, DH248 impacted sand dunes adjacent to Tramore Strand. There were no survivors. The aircraft was destroyed. There was severe post-impact fire.

It was the pilots intention to carry out one circuit from this field to flight test the aircraft for the purpose of the issue of the Permit. Take-off was just after 1800 hours into a light south-westerly wind. The orientation of the field is from east to west. Once airborne, the pilot commenced his circuit and lost sight of the airfield. He carried out a further two or three more circuits to regain sight of the airfield. Once sighted, he made one final low pass to confirm his position and commenced his final approach to land. With full flaps set, airspeed at 60 MPH and throttle closed, the pilot lined up with the field and flew into one of four large ash trees, about 35 feet high, on the airfield boundary. On impact the aircraft spun into the ground and disintegrated, with the exception of the cabin pod structure. In this instance, the intact cabin structure may have prevented serious injury or loss of life. The pilot quickly freed himself from the cockpit and walked away unaided. There was no fire.
