Aircraft in mid-air collision involved in two previous accidents
The aircraft that crashed killing two on board had been involved in two prior incidents before Tuesday’s fatal crash. The incidents were the subject of investigations by the ministry of transport with findings revealing the need for enhanced training for the students learning how to fly to enable them handle emergencies better.

Total bullshit, ATC is to blame
Ndege ya 1976 😂😂😂😂
1976….thats basically flying scrap metal!
😢😢😢😢😢😢
Get your facts before reporting on such matters ! Smh
This story is sensational and not objective in any way. I believe whoever gave you the report is trying to influence public opinion on which aircraft was in the wrong between Safarilink and 99s. Many aircrafts in the world are flying after having minor incidences. Even Airforce one was made in 1987. Kenyas presidential jet was made in 1995. Why would you want to make it look like 99s flying is the worst school, yet they have pilots flying in ALL the airlines in Kenya? Including Safarilink themselves. They have employed 99s pilots. Why dont you have the side of 99s
The two previous incidents are not related at all to this accident.
Thats my former school, batch of 2014-2016. I wish everyone safe over there. My condolences to the Student Pilot and CFI, forever blue skies and silky wings! However, i must note 99s has very old fleet/unairworthy rather. Upon further investigations to be conducted, while i was there, I noted very old fleets of 172s and 150s which am surprised they are still operating. This is a failure on the Kenya Civil Aviation Authority aircraft worthiness inspection. An aircraft from 1970-ish should'nt be allowed into operation in any ATO in Kenya which is one of the reason I moved my training abroad. THey need to call a new thorough inspection on all not just 99s but all other flying school fleet at Wilson Airport to ensure high standards of training. Again, I offer my condolences.
Brenda wanga may God forgive you . Shame on you
As a pilot, TCAS (Traffic Collision Avoidance Systems) is so important but extremely expensive it could cost upwards of hundreds of thousands of dollars
ofcourse they will blame the pilot, not the school for having acient equipment
This information is bias. In one day you already have how it happened. Better get views from all concerned
It was too old
Don't They have TCAS(Traffic Collision Avoidance System) which is mandatory by FAA???
Can the investigators tell us more on the student pilot… She was 20 y.o…. What lesson plan was she on at the time of accident? So we can shed some light and offer help to investigators on the emergency etc training or recovery techniques that they are suggesting is covered at much later lesson plans… We all begin from EX. 1…….. 2, 3….the aviation authority is to blame as well the crew of safari link since the other party didn't survive this tragic accident, they are only excused, so what must happen now. Focus on chain of events leading to this fatal crash and let those involved be revoked of their licenses, and incl your caa controller and face imprisonment as well compensate the victims families, and give us what we need to see and hear happening
I think they are bribed bcz we are in the aviation industry and understand more than that journalists.those incidents have no connection to a mid air collision.
It is very sad to hear of this tragefy killing the dreams of aspiring young pilots and I didnt expect least of all, for anybody to say that the school needs to improve on student pilots emergency training more than is required or expected of instructors as in this case they were clipped by dash 8… Bang… And so may I ask my learned investigators on the way out of a situation like that… All of a sudden you get hit by another craft and so what emergency training would suggest to handle it?? Be real guys!!! On a VFR flight, VMC conditions It's all about "see and be seen" ama mnatakaje sasa… So, yes the dead crew perhaps had their heads buried inside of cabin doing pre landing checks and what have you… such that the "see" on their part was zero, and so were crews of the dash 8 not paying attention to the outside world buried their heads in watching the needles, moving switches, the c.c., the thrust levers, as if in typical IFR wx take off trusting on the atc to guide them into the poor small buck72. It's like a joke, when the investigators tells us of past incidences and what have you on solo flights going bad… Have they watched how many small chicks make their first solo flight ending up in crocks mouth or a fatal fall… Thats what happens… Everyone gets taught on balked landings, ballooning, stall or approaching to stall landings etc… The lessons cover all these emergencies procedures, shame on you investigators… Look into real time factors involving this fatal crash
The dash 8 crews perhaps we're operating the flight with an u/s tcas equipment, or forgot to switch to mode ON from STDBY thereby not getting any traffic info as in TA/RA… or simply the dash 8 crews thought they were flying F16 which could climb out rapidly from rwy 14 with steep R. O. C. such that dash 8 would have been way above the buck72 at circuit Altitude. But, it's also important to know are the chairs in the atc control room not able to rotate so as to catch view of the aircraft in vicinity esp in circuit? Did the controller have a sore neck or red eyes, which is wildly spread in Eastern Africa?
Let's see what happens next bcos in my opinion with the training craft occupants dead, and seems like the school is getting the blame of 2 past incidences, those incidences have nothing to do with this flight accident, there was no reported emergency on board any of the 2 acft involved, ofcourse, the blame is shared between three different players, the 2 crew of the 99 school, the dash crews and the air traffic controller on duty who cleared the safari air link dash 8 to take off….
Air traffic controller was also to blame… Liable, responsible as to inform both acft of traffic in circuit pattern downwind rwy 07 and allowing dash crew to commenced take off rwy 14 knowing the acft in circuit has not crossed the takeoff path of the dash 8, where was atc watching? Or was atc sipping coffee and trying to remove house fly from his soup bowl
