An inquest into a fatal plane crash which claimed the life of a Clare trainee pilot has called for changes in the procedures operated at flight training academies.
Dermot Sheridan from Blackwater who was studying for his private pilot’s licence along with his instructor Colm Clancy were killed on a training flight in Kildare on the 1st April 2009.
