Missing Pilot 'Caring And Very Professional'

A friend of one of the pilots on missing flight MH370 has told Sky News he cannot believe he had anything to do with the aircraft's disappearance.

Peter Chong described Zaharie Ahmad Shah as a kind, generous man and said he longs for his friend to return.

He said it was "only natural" investigators were searching his friend's home but added: "He is a very caring person who enjoys life and enjoys flying. He is a very professional pilot."

Leaked CCTV footage appears to show Mr Zaharie and his co-pilot, Fariq Abdul Hamid, calmly passing through security shortly before boarding the aircraft.

The video, which was uploaded to YouTube, seems to show  walking through a body scanner at Kuala Lumpur International Airport.

Dressed in uniforms, the two men in the video are frisked for less than two seconds each by security staff before collecting luggage from the conveyor belt of an X-ray machine.

The two pilots have come under increased scrutiny since investigators revealed flight MH370's tracking devices were deliberately switched off mid-way through a flight to Beijing.

Authorities are yet to comment on the CCTV footage, although the personal and religious backgrounds of both pilots are being checked.

Police are investigating a flight simulator found at the home of Mr Zaharie, who has more than 18,000 hours' flying experience and joined Malaysia Airlines more than 30 years ago.

Messages posted on the 53-year-old's Facebook page suggest he was a politically active opponent of the coalition that has ruled Malaysia for 57 years since the country became independent.

Mr Fariq, 27, had only recently graduated to the cockpit of the Boeing 777 and had not asked to fly with Mr Zaharie, authorities have confirmed.

Satellite data suggests the Boeing 777, which had 239 people on board, flew for at least seven hours - more than six hours after it lost contact with air traffic control.
