The crash that claimed four pilots in Batangas will trigger a comprehensive probe, according to Defense Secretary Gilberto Teodoro Jr. The inquiry will look at how the flight was planned, the training the pilots received, the aircraft's maintenance record and the decisions of senior commanders. Teodoro emphasized that the established accident-investigation procedures of the Philippine Air Force must be fully followed without shortcuts.
