Press: Plane which crashed killing five was flown by pilot without license

The pilot of a plane which crashed last month, killing all on board, was flying without a license, reported Mladá Fronta on Saturday. The small chartered plane crashed on a flight from the Czech Republic to the Ukrainian capital Kiev, killing all five Czechs on board, last December. The enquiry into the accident found that the pilot and owner of the aircraft, Miroslav Jäger, was flying without a valid license. As such, Mr Jäger was found responsible for the crash by the investigators. The aircraft crashed some three kilometers away from its final destination, when it attempted to land in a field in thick fog.
