Human errors, negligence to blame for fatal aircraft crash

KUALA LUMPUR: 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, FMT reported.

According to the final report on the fatal incident by the Air Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB), safety requirements were not adhered to during the night training flight.

This included switching on the wrong switch, which resulted in the engine to run on less power. This subsequently caused the pilots to inaccurately identify the nature of emergency during take-off.
