Type: GAF Nomad N.22B
Operator: Missionary Aviation Fellowship - MAF
Registration: PK-MAJ
Met an air crash investigator in Irian Jaya in 1979 who was investigating this accident. He was convinced that a prop or prop blade had come off and killed the pilot and was the result of a faulty overhaul of the prop. This was I think before he had visited the crash site or seen the wreckage although others had so he was going on their reports I guess. If true it is probably not a Nomad problem as such as that engine /prop is likely to be used on other types as well.
