PETALING JAYA: Australia's investigation into the 1976 Double Six tragedy, which reports of the pilot's"poor ability" and overloading of the plane, mostly tallies with Malaysia's findings.
Malaysia's report on the disaster was disclosed on April 12, stating that errors by the pilot Capt Gandhi Nathan could have led to the tragedy.Meanwhile, Australia's investigation also said that poor operation by Sabah Air and a failure on the Civil Aviation Department's part to completely fulfil their obligations as the local certification authority were among the factors contributing to the crash.
Nadan was then among those laid off by Fuad after he took office as the chief minister six weeks prior to the tragedy. The report also disclosed that there could be some truth in Nadan's statements following a study on Capt Ghandi's logbook that found that many more flight checks had been carried out than there were flight test reports in his file.On the co-pilot who was supposed to fly with Capt Gandhi, the report read:"The pilot who had accompanied Capt Ghandi to Labuan was off-loaded and a passenger occupied the co-pilot's seat.
