PETALING JAYA: A host of human errors and organisational negligence are to blame for the crash of a two-seater light aircraft that claimed the life of a flight instructor in August last year.
According to the final report on the fatal incident by the Air Accident Investigation Bureau , safety requirements were not adhered to during the night training flight. This included switching on the wrong switch which resulted in the engine running on less power. This subsequently caused the pilots to inaccurately identify the nature of emergency during take-off.
however, commended Fajim Juffa for his quick thinking in landing the aircraft along Jalan Dr Nazrin Shah in Sungai Rokam, Medan Gopeng, which was “the best option available”. also said other factors that led to the pilots’ error included procedures that were not adequately covered in a night flying brief.This resulted in both pilots being ill-prepared to handle the emergency or being aware of the limited safe landing areas within the aerodrome vicinity. “The decision to carry out an intersection take-off instead of using the full runway length further complicated the judgement and decision-making error,” it added.
there were nine air accidents last year with two final crash reports completed while the others have had their preliminary reports done, pending the final reports. * Follow us on Instagram and join our Telegram and/or WhatsApp channel for the latest news you don't want to miss. * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?
