Lack of updates is nothing new in PNG.
I cannot find any trace of a flight plan filed by P2-SET since 2016 (
www.flightaware.com), which is rather odd as both VFR and IFR flight plans show up. If the aircraft was returning from Australia after undergoing maintenance, then again nothing showing; ever!
I assume the aircraft was working or owned/leased for the sugar/coffee people in the Ramu valley?
Did the aircraft operate with an AOC (Air Operator Certificate) or was it an owner flown private venture operating over private property, which I would venture to suggest requires no operational oversight.?
Still, apart from a brief one line in "The National" there does not appear to be any acknowledgement in mainstream media in PNG or Australia and New Zealand. I would have thought with an ex-patriate passing the appropriate High Commission would have made a statement.
It's almost as if the accident has not really happened?
