THE Guyana Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) commenced interviews on Sunday as part of the process of ascertaining what may have caused the crash of the United States registered aircraft the previous day at Plaisance, East Coast Demerara. The aircraft crashed into a house resulting in the death of the pilot and a surveyor on board.  
GCAA Director, Safety Regulations, Mrs. Paula McAdam told the Guyana Chronicle that her department commenced interviewing persons at the crash site and its surroundings on Sunday and will continue with others at the Ogle Regional Airport, also on the East Coast of Demerara.
She said all the needed pieces from the aircraft were collected and the process of freighting the engines is awaiting instructions from the National Transport Safety Board (NTSB) in the United States (U.S.).
Mc Adam said, on conclusion of the interviews, an investigation to determine what caused the accident would be conducted and the NTSB will carry out examinations on the engines.
Last Saturday afternoon, around 14:54 hrs, the small aircraft departed Ogle, piloted by 71-year-old American citizen Pierre Angiel accompanied by survey technician 54-year-old Canadian Nick Dmitriev.
They were going to do an aerial survey of the Amalia Falls road project when the plane encountered problems resulting in their death.
