Kapar air crash: plane had airworthiness certificate, says Transport Ministry 

Documentation issued by EU Aviation Safety Agency, says MoT

KUALA LUMPUR – The Gabriel BK160TR light aircraft that crashed in Kapar, Selangor on Tuesday, had a valid airworthiness certificate issued by the EU Aviation Safety Agency. 

Confirming the matter, the Transport Ministry said technical investigations into the crash had been carried out by the ministry and the Air Accident Investigation Bureau. 

“Investigations continue to determine the circumstances and cause of the accident, with the aim of saving lives and also preventing accidents in the future. 

“In line with Annex 13 (Aircraft Accident and Incident Investigation) set by the International Civil Aviation Organisation, an initial report will be prepared within 30 days of the incident, followed by a full report 12 months from the accident,” the ministry said in a statement today.

It also said that early investigations showed the plane had an I-POOC registration number belonging to Italian company Blackshape S.p.A, which has Hong Kong firm Sky Media Ltd as its distributor in Southeast Asia. 

“Sky Media had appointed Aviation Safety Technology Pte Ltd (AST), a Singaporean company, for marketing services for the Gabriel BK160TR. 

“AST had then appointed the pilot involved in the accident to manage the aircraft for promotion purposes to Malaysian customers.”

No distress calls were recorded from the light aircraft before it crashed, after departing from Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport in Subang for a “recreational flight’, the Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia had confirmed after the incident.

The remains of the crash’s two victims, pilot Daniel Yee Hsiang Khoon, 31, and co-pilot Roshaan Singh Raina, 43, were found in the aircraft’s cockpit at a depth of 5ft in the ground at an oil palm plantation in Kg Tok Muda, Kapar. 

The post-mortem found that both victims died due to multiple injuries from the plane crash. 

Their remains were claimed by their respective families after the post-mortem process was completed. – February 16, 2024
