Authorities investigating the Naivasha plane crash have recovered the black box that stores all flight data.
KAA officers say the critical finding from the flames, will aid investigations into what really happened to the Locust monitoring aircraft.
Beatrice Kiraguri, Nakuru County police commander, said the light aircraft, DHC2 type of plane registration 5Y-BCL, was monitoring locust invasion when it crashed under unclear circumstances.
One person was killed and two others sustained burn wounds in the Ndabibi area, Naivasha, about 90 km northwest of Kenya’s capital, Nairobi.
“We are still seeking more information from those on the ground but preliminary findings point to bad weather. Aviation experts will tell us more about the crash,” Kiragu said on phone.
She said the fixed wing plane which was being used to spray locusts was on its way to Lodwar in northwest Kenya from the Wilson Airport in Nairobi.
