Anybody else feel it's not a good time to go and fly? One plane crash after the other. Not a good year for air safety.

[Radzi 2]

Sorry to hear that.

 

Gunung Pulai has seen some crashes before. MFA's SKA crashed there a few years ago, killing the student pilot.

It's anytime safer to fly than to drive.

If car got problem, can stop by roadside.

If car hit another car catastrophically?

The aircraft is a Liberty XL2. Apparently the post crash fire caused injuries that killed the female student pilot. The Instructor/Check Pilot suffered significant burns.

 

AlFatihah to the Lady Pilot.

 

And let's pray for the recovery of the Instructor.

Sincere condolences to the family. And speedy recovery of the Instr.

May her father and brother find strength to move on. I know that feeling all too well.

This is the fifth crash this year involving training school aircraft! 2 x HM Aerospace, 1 x IT&S, 1 x APFTC and now 1 x KLIFA.

 

Not sure what story the statistic would tell but on the face of it it doesn't look a very good record.

is it true that the instructor was trying to molest the trainee resulting the crash?

What? You better have some hard evidence before making such wild accusations!

OMG!! Whatever made you say things like that??? Why would a flying instructor want to do that in a plane a few thousand feet up in the air? Death wish perhaps?

I've been following the story on newspaper since it happened and it makes me think about loosing my dad a while ago.

 

To Diona's father and brother - We are strangers but we share a common sense of loss. Even though you are professional pilots, I'm sure it will not be easy getting back into the cockpit, just as I found out the hard way. Please be strong and carry on, knowing that Diona is in a better world, happily flying and watching us from above. Everytime when you take to the sky you are that much nearer to her. Find comfort that she left this world pursuing her dreams, and feel extremely proud that she is an aviator. Though she's irreplaceable but time will heal. I'm sure she'd want you to be happy for her.

 

Whenever I'm at the controls nowadays I think about my old man too. But deep down inside I know he'd want me to get on with the job. We are professional pilots, and we have great responsibilities before us.

 

To the flight examiner, I wish you a speedy recovery, and get back into the air ASAP.

Very, very well said indeed, Albert !!!
