KUALA LUMPUR – Flight training activities, including those conducted under private companies, are not restricted during the conditional movement control order (CMCO), according to a source from the Transport Ministry.

“This is because it (flight training) is not listed under the activities that are prohibited. Flying schools can operate according to the SOPs (standard operating procedures),” the source said in a brief response to Bernama when asked on the matter.

Checks by Bernama on the SOP for transportation found that general aviation services, including the operation of businesses and private jets, are allowed during the CMCO.

The country was shocked following the mid-air collision between two helicopters in Taman Melawati near Ampang about noon today, which caused one of them to crash, claiming the lives of two people on board.

The incident involving the G2CA-type helicopters (9M-HCA and 9M-HCB) occurred during flight training, in which they were heading from Sultan Abdul Aziz Airport in Subang to Genting Sempah. – Bernama, November 8, 2020
