The aircraft was declared airworthy before training and skies were clear, he added.[6] Officials previously said that the aircraft crew had been conducting a touch-and-go exercise before the crash.[7] The aircraft was not equipped with flight data recording equipment, also known a black box. Earlier on Thursday, Yunus said the Fokker aircraft was on a routine training mission at the base before the incident.[8]
