Fatal air crash was caused by inadequate fuel in tank

The final report into the crash that claimed the lives of flying instructor Niall Doherty, 31, from Roscrea, Co Tipperary, and trainee pilot Damien Deegan, 31, from Crinkle, Co Offaly, found the probable cause was power loss due to fuel starvation which resulted in the aircraft stalling and the pilot losing control.
Two other student pilots who had flown separately in the same Cessna aircraft in the hours before the crash, reported that there was 60 litres of fuel on board prior to the aircraft commencing the first of three afternoon training flights.
