On 17 August 2023, at
approximately 1408 LT, a Hawker
Beechcraft Model 390 Premier 1,
with the call sign N28JV, operated by Jet Valet Sdn Bhd, departed from
Langkawi International Airport (WMKL), Langkawi, Kedah, enroute to
Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport (WMSA), Subang, Selangor. At around 1449
LT, N28JV impacted the ground while manoeuvring for landing at WMSA,
Subang, Selangor. The airplane was destroyed following the ground impact
and subsequent fire. The 10 who died in the crash comprised eight aboard
the plane and two motorists – the driver of a car and a motorcyclist –
who were hit by the crashing plane, the police said.
N28JV departed WMKL
with eight persons on board at approximately 1408 LT, heading to WMSA.
At around 1446 LT, N28JV contacted the WMSA air traffic tower controller
to report it was established on the NBD Runway 15 approach and requested
landing clearance. At 1448:36 LT, N28JV was cleared to land on Runway
15. The flight acknowledged the clearance at 1448:41 LT. No further
radio transmissions were heard from the flight. Automatic Dependent Surveillance–Broadcast
(ADS-B) data indicated that at 1447:24 LT, at an altitude of 2,600 feet,
the aircraft began a speed reduction and descent. At approximately
1449:06 LT, at an altitude of 1,025 feet, the aircraft initiated a right
turn, continuing until about 1449:14 LT, when it was at an indicated
height of 550 feet. This was the last recorded data transmission from
the accident flight, which was near the accident location. The ground
speed during the right turn ranged between 146 and 154 knots. The
aircraft crashed at Persiaran Elmina, Elmina, Shah Alam.
One of the 10 people killed when a private jet
crashed onto a road in Selangor on Thursday had survived an aviation
accident 13 years ago. Mr Khairil Azwan Jamaluddin, 43,
was co-piloting a helicopter from Selangor in September 2010 when bad
weather caused the chopper to crash in a hilly region.
He survived the impact back then, reported Bernama. But Mr Khairil
Azwan, who was a passenger on the light private business jet on
Thursday, did not survive this time when the plane crashed near Elmina
township in Shah Alam.
Datuk Seri Johari
Harun, 53, chairman of the Pahang Local Government,
Housing, Environment and Green Technology Committee, was among the 10
victims.
