The Accident Investigation Bureau (AIB) has submitted an
interim report on the plane crash that killed ex-Nigerian Army chief, Lt-Gen
Ibrahim Attahiru and other officers.
AIB Commissioner, Engr. Akin Olateru presented the document
to the Chief of Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Amao at the NAF Headquarters,
Abuja.
A NAF King Air 350 aircraft crashed at the Kaduna airport on
May 21, 2021.
A statement on Wednesday by NAF Director of Information,
Edward Gabkwet and AIB image-maker, Tunji Oketunbi gave a brief insight into
the report.
It said after the incident, Amao directed that a joint
investigative body consisting of experienced NAF safety officers and the AIB be
constituted to investigate.
The report is in three sections: the information obtained in
the course of the investigation; analysis of data collected in view of the
Board’s Terms of Reference; and the conclusion, which covers the initial
findings and immediate recommendations.
Still at the interim stage, a total of 27 initial findings
and 8 immediate safety recommendations were made for the convening authority
and other aviation-related agencies for immediate implementation.
The final report will contain the flight data recorder
readout, the reviewed operator’s and service provider’s standard operating
procedures as well as other detailed analyses.
