"We will be relying very heavily, not only on an interview with the surviving pilot, but any CCTV footage that we may be able to get from the actual aerodrome itself, and any witness statements to get a much better appreciation of where those two aircraft were and what happened in that immediate sequence leading up to the collision.
"Obviously, the simultaneous use of cross runways do add an extra degree of caution and alertness that needs to be observed by pilots," he said.
