The pilot did not receive takeoff clearance at Catalina Airport prior to the crash that resulted in the deaths of all five individuals on board.
Although the pilot had pre-arranged his arrival at Catalina airport, he failed to arrange for a takeoff clearance despite being advised of this requirement.
Vacant identification revealed three of the five occupants, underlining the tragic loss with Ali Reza Safai, a known flight instructor and plane owner, among the deceased.
The circumstances around the crash remain partly unclear, especially regarding the pilot's identity and whether he was the one who pre-arranged the plane's arrival.
