Late ex-Governor of Taraba, Suntai not certified to fly crashed aircraft – AIB
The bureau said the aircraft, with registration number 5N-BMJ, which crashed at Kwanan-Waya Village, Yola South in Adamawa State, was also not in the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority registry.
Also included is the incident involving a Diamond 40 aircraft belonging to the International Aviation College, Ilorin on Nov. 25, 2013. Olateru said 24 safety recommendations were generated from the six final reports, adding that the AIB now had a total of 46 final reports and 178 safety recommendations since its inception in 2007.
“However, the investigation identified the following factors which were that the pilot was not certified qualified and not competent to fly the aircraft, the decision of the pilot to operate a Visual Flight Rule flight after sunset and inadequate oversight by the NCAA,” the commissioner said. “The over-temperature and fire were caused by the ignition of fuel from a hairline crack on the fuel manifold supplying fuel nozzle 1,” he added.
