The AAIB has made its investigation into the air crash that killed Emiliano Sala and possibly his pilot, whose body was never found, Dave Ibbotson. The pilot allegedly carried out an excessive speed maneuver, which resulted in the dislocation of the aircraft, concluded the British Air Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB).

In their final report published Friday, investigators believe that the pilot lost control of the aircraft during a maneuver probably intended to avoid bad weather. Pilot David Ibbotson, whose body has never been found, was also "probably" poisoned by carbon monoxide.

"A loss of control was made more likely because the flight was not carried out in accordance with the security standards applicable to commercial operations," said the report. This was manifested by the flight under night visual flight rules in poor weather conditions, despite the fact that the pilot had no training in night flight and a lack of recent practice in instrument flight.
