IPOH: The helicopter that went missing between Perak’s Bidor and Langkap had recorded a sharp drop in altitude in less than a minute, said the Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia (CAAM).
In a statement yesterday, CAAM CEO Datuk Capt Chester Voo said the radar system in the Kuala Lumpur Air Traffic Control Centre (KLATCC) detected a drastic loss in altitude, and the on-duty air traffic control officer attempted to contact the pilot.
