Emiliano Sala: Family lose bid for pilot's inquest evidence -
The family of Emiliano Sala has lost a bid for evidence to be heard from a pilot who said he would not have flown the plane which crashed into the English Channel as it was "unsafe".
Footballer Sala, 28, died in January 2019, when the plane carrying him from Nantes in France to Cardiff crashed.
His body was recovered the following month, but the body of David Ibbotson, who flew the plane, was never found.
The coroner said evidence from the other pilot would be duplication.
Speaking at a pre-inquest review at Bournemouth coroner's court, the senior coroner for Dorset, Rachael Griffin, said it had already been covered by the Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) into the cause of the crash.
The pilot was among an extra five witnesses the family's legal team were hoping to call who might be able to offer some insight on the condition of the plane before the accident flight.

'Candid note'
The pilot in question was said to be communicating with Mr Ibbotson on 21 January 2019, hours before the plane crashed, as Mr Ibbotson tried to remedy faults he had encountered on the aircraft on the flight from Cardiff into Nantes.
Matthew Reeve, barrister for the Sala family, said the pilot had written a "candid note" about how Mr Ibbotson felt about the aircraft.
"It's the closest we have to evidence from him," added Mr Reeve.
The coroner concluded that the report from the AAIB was "complete" and the five additional witnesses would not be called.
Emiliano Sala's brother Dario was at the hearing having flown in from Argentina for the start of the inquest.
He was accompanied by an interpreter and his Argentine lawyer.
Nora Ibbotson, wife of pilot David Ibbotson, and son Bradley were also in attendance.
The full inquest is expected to last for up to five weeks.
Sala was flying to south Wales to join his new team, Cardiff City.
The jury will be sworn in on Tuesday, with the first witnesses expected to include a Home Office forensic pathologist and toxicologist.

Awful (and disgusting) that in a case where two men lost their lives due to the apparent incompetence of others that not all witnesses/evidence can be heard.
Those families just want the truth and so any scrap of evidence should be allowed to be heard.

As far as I can see this is irrelevant to Cardiff City. There is no question the pilot who died should not have been flying the plane and the plane should not have been in the air. That there was negligence is not really in question . The £17 million question is who was responsible for arranging the flight and who were they acting for, Cardiff Nantes or the football agent. If the agent who was the agent acting for. It seems to be a grey area. If club A buys a player from club B who is responsible for transporting the player from one club to the other. Don’t think there are any rules abut this.

Latest From Today ......
Emiliano Sala under pressure before death, inquest hears -
Emiliano Sala felt pressurised into completing a multimillion-pound transfer to the Premier League before he died, an inquest has heard.
The 28-year-old was killed in a plane crash in the English Channel in January 2019 after being bought by Cardiff City from Nantes in a £15m transfer deal.
Pilot David Ibbotson, 59, also died but his body has never been found.
Sala's mother, Mercedes Taffarel, told the hearing the weeks before her son's death "seemed very intense".
"Cardiff put a lot of pressure on him to complete the sale quickly, but Nantes asked for more money and Emi felt in the middle of the dispute," she said.
"It seemed to him that the Nantes management was also pushing his exit from the club because they needed the money."
Sala's transfer from the French Ligue 1 side was the most expensive in the club's history.
