Police Inspector Dies In Copter Crash

 

KAMPAR, Dec 14 (Bernama) -- A police inspector was killed when the helicopter he was piloting on a training flight crashed and burst into flames in a mining area in Malim Nawar, 45 km from here, today.

 

Inspector Mohd Shukri Othman, 31, died on the spot in the accident which occurred at about 3 pm, said Kampar police chief Supt Abdul Aziz Salleh.

 

He said Mohd Shukri, who was attached to the Bukit Aman police headquarters, was on a solo flight from the flight training centre in Ipoh in a Robinson 44 (R-44) helicopter.

 

The body of the inspector, who hailed from Kepala Batas, Penang, was sent to the Kampar Hospital, he said.

 

Mohd Shukri, who leaves a wife and a child, had started his helicopter pilot training in the middle of this year, he added.

 

Firemen put out the fire at the crash site.

i don't think the Police has any R-44 based in Ipoh. I believed the R-44 mentioned in the news report belongs to the flying school based at Ipoh Airport. correct me if I'm wrong....

Agree, a flying school instead of the police themselves.

There is Integrated in IPH, offering helicopter training, but they are using EC-120 instead. So I wonder which flying school is using R-44 here in Malaysia.

It would make the investigation much more faster if the helicopter was equipped with a black box.

Saw the helicopter in flight during my brief visit to Ipoh (about a month before the crash). Remembered telling my cousin how cute and simple the design of the helicopter was. My cousin house was near Ipoh Airport.

 

Al-fatiha..
