一名飞行员在飞机在爱尔兰附近坠毁时死亡。 A pilot died when a plane crashed near Ireland after reporting fuel and electrical issues.

一架从斯利戈飞往法国的Vulcanair P68C号飞行员报告说,11月20日,在Waterford县Lisselan附近坠毁前,低燃料压力和一个失灵的交流器几分钟后失事。 A pilot flying a Vulcanair P68C from Sligo to France reported low fuel pressure and a failed alternator minutes before crashing near Lisselan, County Waterford, on November 20. 驻德国的教官在将最近认证的飞机送至斯洛文尼亚的途中宣布发生紧急情况,并要求直接前往Waterford机场。 The German-based instructor, en route to deliver the recently certified aircraft to Slovenia, declared an emergency and requested a direct approach to Waterford Airport. 尽管看到机场并计划进行正常着陆,但飞机还是进入了左斜坡,迅速失去高度,并在7秒钟后坠落到农田。 Despite sighting the airfield and planning a normal landing, the plane entered a steep left bank, lost altitude rapidly, and crashed into a farm field seven seconds later. 飞行员在撞击中死亡,没有着火。 The pilot died in the impact, with no fire. 残骸显示左引擎已经分离,两个螺旋桨都弯曲,燃料罐破裂。 Wreckage showed the left engine had separated, both propellers were bent, and fuel tanks ruptured. 初步调查结果表明,燃料泵和一个火花塞不起作用,尽管坠机造成的损坏使得确定燃料泵和火花塞在事故中的作用复杂化。 Initial findings indicate the fuel pump and a spark plug were non-functional, though damage from the crash complicates determining their role in the accident. 空中事故调查股继续其审查。 The Air Accident Investigation Unit continues its review.
