Pilot in training attempts to bribe examiner with crystal meth

The Jakarta Police's narcotics unit arrested a trainee pilot and his examiner on suspicion of attempted bribery to pass a pilot certification process.


Police have foiled a trainee pilot’s attempt to bribe his examiner with 0.8 grams of crystal methamphetamine to get his pilot’s license.

BC is an examiner in a flight school that has the authority to issue pilot’s licenses.


To get a pilot’s license, a trainee pilot must graduate from a flight school, apply to an airline, and pass several tests: theory, simulator and real flight.

He plays an important role throughout that process. 

GS [the pilot] allegedly attempted to bribe BC, so that he could pass all the tests.

BC was a civil servant at the Transportation Ministry’s Air Transportation Directorate General.

BC and GC were arrested at Halim Perdanakusuma Airport in East Jakarta on Aug. 2.
