Kuala Lumpur (B2B) - Beberapa data dalam simulator penerbangan yang diambil dari rumah pilot pesawat Malaysia Airlines MH370 yang hilang sejak 8 Maret 2014, Kapten Zaharie Ahmad Shah, sudah dihapus dan tim forensik komputer masih terus melakukan penyelidikan.
"Kami menemukan bahwa data log simulator penerbangan itu sudah dihapus. Dari simulator itu ada tiga permainan penerbangan, yaitu Flight Simulator X, Flight Simulator 9 dan X Flight10. Ini sedang diteliti pakar forensik," kata Menteri Pertahanan Malaysia Hishammuddin Hussein dalam jumpa pers di Hotel Sama Sama, KLIA, Sepang, Rabu, seperti dilansir Yahoo News.
Ia mengatakan bahwa data-data tersebut dihapus pada 3 Februari 2014
Hishammuddin, yang juga pemangku Menteri Transportasi Malaysia, mengingatkan kepada semua pihak bahwa semua penumpang, pilot dan awak kabin pesawat MH370 tetap tidak bersalah sampai ada bukti baru.
"Kami ingatkan bahwa semua pilot, penumpang dan kru pesawat tetap tidak bersalah sampai ada bukti lebih lanjut," katanya.
Polisi pada Minggu (16/3) mengambil simulator penerbangan milik Zaharie dari kediamannya.
Hishammuddin juga mengemukakan, memahami kondisi emosi keluarga penumpang yang selama ini masih terus menunggu perkembangan dari operasi pencarian pesawat Malaysia Airlines MH370.
Oleh karena itu, dikatakannya, pemerintah Malaysia mengirimkan tim ke Beijing yang terdiri atas perwakilan kantor Perdana Menteri, Kementerian Luar Negeri, Angkatan Udara, Badan Penerbangan Sipil dan maskapai Malaysia Airlines.
Tim Malaysia itu, menurut dia, untuk memberikan penjelasan mengenai informasi terkini operasi pencarian pesawat Malaysia Airlines MH370.
"Kami berharap dan meminta kepada semua pihak untuk memahami bahwa kami sudah melakukan yang terbaik dalam operasi tersebut," katanya menambahkan.
Kuala Lumpur - Investigators have revealed that several files in the home-made flight simulator of Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah, who was piloting the missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370, were deleted recently.
In a later press conference, Malaysia´s Defence Minister and acting Transport Minister Hishamuddin Hussein also confirmed that some data from the pilot´s simulator had been erased.
Hussein said: "Local and international expertise has been recruited to examine the pilot´s flight simulator. Some data had been deleted from the simulator and forensic work to retrieve this data is on-going. I would like to take this opportunity to state that the passengers, the pilots and the crew remain innocent until proven otherwise."
It was earlier reported that the flight simulator was loaded with five practice runways around Indian Ocean, pointing suspicions on the pilot.
"The simulation programmes are based on runways at the Male International Airport in Maldives, an airport owned by the United States (Diego Garcia), and three other runways in India and Sri Lanka, all have runway lengths of 1,000 metres," an unidentified investigation source told local Malay daily Berita Harian.
The report was contested later but the specifics of the report have not been denied by Malaysian officials.
Shah and the co-pilot, Abdul Hamid, have been under scrutiny subsequent to the confirmation that deliberate action was involved in the plane´s diversion from its original path.
On board, there were 12 Malaysian crew members and 227 passengers from 14 countries. That included 153 Chinese and 38 Malaysians.
No debris from the plane has been found in the international search.
Last confirmed communication with Indian Ocean satellite occurred at 08:11am, meaning plane continued to fly for seven hours after radar signal was lost.
At least 25 countries, including China, the US and Singapore, have now joined in the search for the missing plane.
