Questions have been raised in Parliament about the devastating incident that has sent shockwaves through the aviation community, as two pilots lost their lives in a fatal crash involving an aging aircraft.

The ill-fated plane, assembled in 1958 and equipped with an engine manufactured in 1961, raises serious concerns about the safety of using outdated technology for pilot training.

Member of Parliament, Dayasiri Jayasekara, expressed his dismay in a speech during a parliamentary session. He questioned the decision to employ a plane from the PT-6 fleet, which he believed should be preserved in a museum rather than used for training purposes. "Who will take responsibility for this incident?" he demanded, highlighting the need for accountability in the wake of this tragic event.

The incident has sparked a nationwide debate about aviation safety standards and the appropriateness of utilizing decades-old aircraft for training new pilots. As investigations into the crash continue, the aviation industry, regulatory authorities, and government officials are under mounting pressure to address the concerns raised by MP Dayasiri Jayasekara
