Pilot confusion led to serious incident at airport

An investigation into a serious incident involving a plane attempting to land in fog found "confusion and miscommunication" between the crew.

In August 2024, a Jump Air flight from Southampton was on the approach to Guernsey Airport when it descended below the minimum height allowed during poor visibility.

The report said there was confusion between the pilot and co-pilot which resulted in delays to the plane making a climb.

It then diverted and landed safely back at Southampton Airport.

The Air Accident Investigation Branch said the operator had taken a number of safety actions since the incident.

Aurigny has been approached for comment.
