Fulda (dpa) - In the process of the flight accident with three dead on the Wasserkuppe, the accused pilot was sentenced by the Fulda regional court for negligent homicide to a prison sentence of six months on probation.
The probation period is two years, said a court spokesman.
The court did not impose any conditions on the 58-year-old from Ludwigshafen in Rhineland-Palatinate, as the defendant had announced that he would voluntarily pay 5,000 euros to the father of the two children killed in the accident and the chamber expected that he would do the same said the spokesman.
The judgment is already final because all those involved have waived an appeal.
In the accident in October 2018 on Hesse's highest mountain, the pilot shot over the runway with a small propeller plane (Cessna).
The machine had hit a 39-year-old woman and her two eleven and twelve-year-old children on the sidewalk across the street and fatally injured them.
Since the beginning of February, the man had to answer for negligent homicide and negligent endangerment of air traffic in court.
The children's father was a joint plaintiff at the trial.
