"We have been doing the rechecking since Thursday, examining 12 technical items such as air communication instruments, engine, flight documents and components that are routinely replaced," Teguh Jalu, the checking coordinator of the directorate, said here on Saturday.
He said the directorate also planned to test the capability of the pilots of Merpati Airlines MA 60.
"Perhaps in the next few days a team will test the pilots. Team members will join the flight to test a pilot`s capability," he said.
Based on the results of the re-check on the planes made in China no damage or technical problems had been found on the three planes.
"No damage or technical problems were found, that could endanger passengers," Teguh said.
Due to the re-checking a Merpati flight using MA 60 bound for Mataram-Labuan Bajo had been delayed for two hours. (*)
