Elmina plane crash: Problem on the wings could have been the cause, says T'ganu MB

KUALA TERENGGANU: The crash of the light aircraft in Bandar Elmina, Shah Alam, Selangor on Thursday (Aug 17) could have been caused by a problem on the wings, says Terengganu Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar, who is also an aerospace expert.

In a Facebook post, the former head of Universiti Putra Malaysia's aerospace department said that based on visual evidence available to the public, the problem might have been caused by either aileron failure or a combination of both rudder and elevator failure.

Nevertheless, he said aircraft failures could also originate from various problems or a single issue such as maintenance issues, structural integrity failures , engine failures, flight control issues, avionics problems and human factors. Ahmad Samsuri also conveyed his condolences to the families of the victims who perished in the crash.
