A probe body, formed after the July jet crash, on Wednesday recommended that all initial trainings of the Bangladesh Air Force (BAF) will be conducted outside Dhaka city considering the public safety.
"We have capacity to do (initial training) that," Chief Adviser’s Press Secretary Shafiqul Alam told reporters at the Foreign Service Academy in the city.
Quoting the investigation report, Alam said things went beyond the pilot when he was flying as there were faults during the time of take-off.
"The key reason for the accident was the pilot's error during take-off. While flying during training, the situation went beyond his control. That is the conclusion (of the report),” he said.
There were 31 recommendations and 10 recommendations came up prominently for discussions.
Principal Staff Officer (PSO) of the Armed Forces Division (AFD) Lieutenant General S M Kamrul Hassan handed over the report to Chief Adviser Prof Muhammad Yunus with a set of recommendations.
The Press Secretary said the probe body spoke to 150 people, including experts and victims and through these conversations; they gathered 168 pieces of information and made 33 recommendations.
He said the school was not built with Rajuk's approved building code (Bangladesh National Building Code).
The Press Secretary said the building was supposed to have minimum three stairs, but it had only one in the middle.
The expert committee said that if there had been three staircases, the number of casualties would have been lower, he added, quoting the report.
The July 21 jet crash at Milestone School and College in the capital's Uttara claimed 34 lives, including 28 students and three teachers, and injured over a hundred.
Chief Adviser’s Deputy Press Secretary Abul Kalam Azad Majumder, Senior Assistant Press Secretary Foyez Ahmmad and Assistant Press Secretary Suchismita Tithi were also present.
