JAKARTA (JP): A training aircraft crashed on Friday at the
Halim Perdanakusumah Air Force base in East Jakarta, claiming the
lives of the pilot, Chairul Hasrat, and his trainee pilot
Nurcahyo Harinto.

The plane belonged to the Asindo flying school. The Antara
news agency said on Saturday that earlier reports that the Bravo
AS-202 belonged to the Air Force were incorrect.

Head of the Air Force Information Office, Commodore Atmadji,
was quoted by Antara as saying that a team had been established
to investigate the crash.

"The aircraft had been properly maintained," he said when
asked if the crash was related to the aircraft's age.

Sources at the National Search and Rescue Agency said that
Chairul was buried in Jakarta, while Nurcahyo was buried in
Bandung.

Last month a police aircraft crashed in Bogor, resulting in
the death of all six people on board. (sur)
