According to the report, the helicopter had a valid certificate of airworthiness “but the pilot’s last medical examination was valid till the 6th of August 2020”.

It also stated “there was no evidence to show that any application for the exemption provided by the All Operators’ Letter AOL DG020/20 had been submitted to the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority”.

It stated,

“The flight was operated on a Visual Flight Rules (VFR) flight plan. According to the flight plan, onboard were one pilot, an engineer and a fitter mechanic with fuel endurance of 3:15 h.”
