Bircan Dokuzlar, 48, originally from Turkey, died when he attempted to land the aircraft in a field close to Waterford Airport on November 21 last.

Mr Dokuzlar had turned the plane around off the south coast and headed towards Waterford Airport as he attempted an emergency landing.

Mr Dokuzlar was flying the aircraft to Ljubljana, Slovenia, on a multi-sector journey and the crash occurred during the leg between Sligo and Béziers Cap d'Agde Airport in France.
