2-REG Statement on the 2-RORO Accident

Monday 13 May 2019

The Guernsey Director of Civil Aviation (DCA) and SGI Guernsey Ltd. (2-REG) confirm that an accident involving a Cirrus SR22T aircraft, registration 2-RORO, occurred on May 12, 2019 between Raglan and Abergavenny, Monmouthshire, Wales, United Kingdom. The accident aircraft had been registered in Guernsey since August 1, 2018. The three occupants of the aircraft were reportedly taken to hospital with minor injuries. No further casualties have been reported.

 

As per ICAO procedure (Annex 13), it is the state of occurrence that is responsible for initiating and conducting an aircraft accident investigation. The state of occurrence (in this case the UK) will invite the state of registry (in this case Guernsey) to participate in such an investigation as required.

 

The DCA has an agreement in place with the UK AAIB (Air Accidents Investigation Branch) for the latter to assist, on behalf of the DCA, in the investigation. Under that agreement, the UK AAIB will represent Guernsey where appropriate.

 

The accident falls under the United Kingdom’s jurisdiction, who have now instructed the UK AAIB to initiate and lead the investigation.  The DCA and SGI Guernsey (2-REG) are collecting data and maintaining contact with the UK AAIB as information becomes available.  The investigation by the UK AAIB remains ongoing, as we continue to work towards a full understanding of all aspects of this accident.
