Narrative:
An aircraft operated by South Sudan Supreme Airlines crashed shortly after departure from Pieri Airstrip, South Sudan. All ten on board, two pilots and eight passengers, have reportedly died. The aircraft operated on a flight to Yuai and Juba.
The Jonlei State Govermnent stated the aircraft involved was "HK-4274".
HK-4274 matches the registration of a Colombian Agusta-Bell AB-205A helicopter. This helicopter was sold and this Colombian registration mark is no longer in use. It was likely used as a fake registration on a Let L-410.
The South Sudan Ministry of Transport confirmed to ASN that the aircraft involved was an L-410.
