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.

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.

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?

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

AIB releases final reports on six plane accidents, says late Taraba gov not certified to fly

April 25, 2019Agency Report

The Accident Investigation Bureau (AIB) on Thursday said late former Taraba Governor, Danbaba Suntai, was not certified to operate the Cessna 208B Caravan aircraft which crashed on October 25, 2012.
The bureau said the aircraft, with registration number 5N-BMJ, which crashed at Kwanan-Waya Village, Yola South in Adamawa State, was also not in the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) registry.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the AIB Commissioner, Akin Olateru, made the disclosure at the release of six final accidents/serious incidents reports in Lagos.

The released reports include that of the serious incident involving a Delta Air Lines Airbus A330-223 aircraft which occurred on February 13, 2018 at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos......

On the former governor’s crash, he said the bureau could not conclusively determine the cause of the accident and the aircraft maintenance history was not found in the registry of any Aircraft Maintenance Organisation.

“However, the investigation identified the following factors which were that the pilot was not certified qualified and not competent to fly the aircraft, the decision of the pilot to operate a Visual Flight Rule (VFR) flight after sunset and inadequate oversight by the NCAA,” the commissioner said.

He, however, explained that Mr Suntai had obtained a Private Pilot Licence and was qualified to fly Cessna 172 aircraft, having logged a total of 58 hours and 40 minutes of flights before the accident.

Mr Olateru said the causal factor of the Delta Air Lines incident was due to an over-temperature condition and localised fire within the No. 1 engine cowling, which triggered a fire warning.

“The over-temperature and fire were caused by the ignition of fuel from a hairline crack on the fuel manifold supplying fuel nozzle 1,” he added.
