Pilot's 'poor ability', overloading among causes of Double Six crash, reveals Aussie report

PETALING JAYA: Australia's investigation into the 1976 Double Six tragedy, which reports of the pilot's "poor ability" and overloading of the plane, mostly tallies with Malaysia's findings.

However, one of the revelations of the Australian report was that another Sabah Air pilot left the plane to make space for one more passenger to sit in the co-pilot's seat - the son of then Sabah chief minister Tun Fuad Stephens, Johari.
