Terengganu menteri besar Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar, a former aerospace academic, said his finding was based on visual evidence available to the public.

Terengannu menteri besar Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar, who is an aerospace expert, sais he gave his views on a possible cause based on publicly-available information.

KUALA TERENGGANU: A problem with flight controls could have caused the crash of the Beechcraft Premier I business jet in Bandar Elmina, Shah Alam, yesterday according to Terengganu menteri besar Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar, an aerospace expert.He said in a Facebook posting that based on visual evidence available to the public, the problem might be caused by either an aileron failure or a combination of both rudder and elevator failure.

“Looking from the visual evidence alone that is available to all of us, I would incline to believe the issue at hand would be more on the “flight control” – more towards problem on the wings, possibly either on the aileron failure or combination of both rudder and elevator,” he said. Nevertheless, he said the aircraft failures could also originate from various problems or a single issue such as maintenance issues, plane structural integrity failures , engine failures, flight control issues, avionics problems and human factors.The Beechcraft 390 aircraft was en route from Langkawi to Subang airport when it crashed on a highway at about 2.50pm yesterday, killing all six passengers and two crew on board and a motorcyclist and a car driver on the ground.
