The Accident Investigation Bureau, AIB, in its new report disclosed that late Governor Suntai pilot was not certified to fly the aircraft which crashed.The AIB who identified factors that led to the crash of the helicopter conveying the late Taraba State Governor, Danbaba Suntai, and three other occupants on October 25, 2012, said the pilot was not certified, qualified and competent to fly the Cessna 208B Caravan aircraft with registration number 5N-BMJ, which crashed in Kwanan-Waya Village in Yola.

Commissioner and Chief Executive officer, AIB, Akin Olateru,  who further disclosed that the pilot did not have instrument ratings and night flight privileges as it was conducted at sunset and reported an incorrect estimated time of arrival as 10:01 UTC as against the time 17:19 UTC, added that though the pilot had a private pilot licence, he was not trained to handle the aircraft. He further gave other contributing factors as the decision of the pilot to operate a VFR flight after sunset, and inadequate oversight by the regulatory authority.

“The pilot reported the number of persons on board as six to the control tower as against four actual persons found after the accident. The control tower was notified about 5N-BMJ departure by a phone call from Jalingo after the aircraft was airborne,” he added. Recall that though no life was lost in the incident, however the late governor sustained brain injuries, which incapacitated him from performing his official duties and underwent rehabilitation until his demise in 2017.

Seen

He is dead na no more remedy

I never knew there has been an accident investigation bureau in Nigeria, that's impressive.
It's unthinkable how people decide to take risks as high as flying airplanes without necessary certifications. Sometimes, the repeated trainings are boring and seem laughable but they are critically needed.

So the late Gov.have been a major threat to Nigeria Airspace yet he was granted permission to fly by the regulatory authority.

Okay sorr, so flying aircraft at night be like driving at night too? Hmm, old women wey dey fly go abroad nor need certificate to do so and some even blind.

What nonsense are we seeing here? Was Suntai not the pilot himself? The only reason this report is here is because they know Nigeria have a short memory

May his soul Rest In peace

Ohh this man.

I remember how this man lost it completely.

He came back from abroad and looked almost like Buhari before the later went to UK to rebuild and refix himself.

But, I thought Suntai was the pilot?

OP misrepresented the title. It wasn't Suntai's pilot, but Suntai himself.

The late governor was definitely on a murder and suicide mission

Who is this blogger? Everything in here is wrong!

Which helicopter? Who was the pilot?
