On 2 April 2022 a light aircraft flying from England to France disappeared from radar over the English Channel.
Tragically both of the pilots on board and the aircraft haven't been found.
A few weeks later the Air Accident Investigation Branch (AAIB) published a Special Bulletin that set out the evidence that was available about this flight up until that point. In this episode we cover what is in the report and discuss the safety guidance that it includes for pilots.
