A man has pleaded guilty to a charge relating to the flight in which footballer Emiliano Sala died.
David Henderson admitted attempting to discharge a passenger without valid permission or authorisation.
The plane carrying 28-year-old Sala and pilot David Ibbotson crashed into the English Channel in January 2019.
Henderson, 66, of the East Riding of Yorkshire, will now go on trial on a separate charge, accused of endangering the safety of an aircraft.
He entered the guilty plea, as he appeared before High Court judge Mr Justice Foxton at Cardiff Crown Court on Monday.
The charges have been brought by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA).
