PETALING JAYA: The Blackshape BK 160TR light aircraft that crashed into an oil palm plantation near Kapar on Feb 16, killing the pilot and a passenger, likely broke up mid-flight, the Air Accident Investigation Bureau said today.
The report also highlighted that the aircraft was subject to a grounding order, not allowing it to fly. The maintenance schedules were “irregular”, sometimes performed by unlicensed technicians. The report said irregular maintenance included installation of uncertified or non-conforming aircraft parts, as well as the installation of aircraft parts and aircraft servicing by unauthorised maintenance organisations or persons who were not properly qualified to carry out the maintenance activities.It added the unauthorised installation included modifications made by the pilot, but it was still investigating whether this had any bearing on the crash.
