Two occupants were killed when their Cessna T303 crashed in the English Channel off the island of Jersey. Visibility was poor in the area, with thick fog over sea. Visibility at the airport was fine.
Jersey Police reported in a statement that the airplane is a "UK based American registered Cessna".
It is thought that air traffic control lost contact with the plane about 20 minutes before it was due to land. Fifteen search and rescue vessels, the Channel Islands Airsearch, a UK rescue helicopter and a French rescue helicopter were scrambled to an area off St Ouen’s Bay. Divers spent most of today searching for the wreckage.
A statement from Jersey police said: “Following a comprehensive search and rescue mission we now believe there were no survivors. The States of Jersey Police will now be working alongside the Air Accident Investigation Branch to establish what happened.”
Subsequently, floating debris was found on the sea and it was confirmed this was from N289CW and that the pilot and passenger had suffered fatal injuries
