Probable Cause
The official investigation identified several factors contributing to the incident. These included inadequate planning and implementation in airport construction safety procedures by both the Civil Aeronautics Administration (CAA) and the military authority; inadequacy in landing approval when exceeding the curfew hour; insufficient cooperation and coordination between the CAA and the military base authorities prior to construction work; and a lack of awareness of a lit runway when entering an active runway without acknowledging the tower controllers.
