Crew of record
Zaharie Ahmad Shah
Pilot in command · MH370
Last attributed radio call: “Good night Malaysian three seven zero.” Home simulator files exist; the 2018 report did not treat them as a reconstructed plan. Who was flying after IGARI is open.
Fariq Abdul Hamid
First officer · MH370
Not heard on the last ATC handover. His mobile registered with a Penang tower at 17:52:27 UTC, corroborating the westbound primary-radar track. About 2,763 hours; this was a 777 training sector.
