Aviation authorities to begin probe Mumbai crash

Mumbai: The investigation into the crash that took place in Ghatkopar killing four crew members and a construction worker has begun and DGCA (Director General of Civil Aviation) and AAIB (Aircraft Accident Investigation Board) are conducting it.

The ill-fated King Air C 90 aircraft belonging to UY aviation was on a test run when it crashed at Ghatkopar on Thursday afternoon. The pilots, aircraft engineer and technicians were onboard when it crashed at an under-construction site in Jivdaya lane.

The procedure to carry the debris of the crashed aircraft started in the morning on Friday after police cordoned off the area to prevent the crash site from being tampered with.

Officials from the UY aviation company that owned the aircraft visited the site followed by DGCA and AAIB officials. AAIB officials inspected the site and debris and then decided the debris would not be carried to Juhu Airport on Friday but could be transported on Saturday.

Measurements were taken and forensic experts collected samples from the site to examine the cause of the crash.
