“Recommendations put forward in the Haags Bosch crash-landing will see penalties being applied to the operators and the pilot involved….Those penalties have been activated and the pilot is now in suspension for that accident for a particular period,” Field related. He did not disclose the length of the suspension or the name of the pilot.
