Website

Following the transition to CAAM, the DCA website URL www.dca.gov.my is not accessible.

Information relevant to MH370 (and MH17) can be accessed two ways:-

  1. As at May 2022, from the portal for the Ministry of Transport (Malaysia) at web.archive.org. Enter the URL www.dca.gov.my and the Wayback Machine will respond with a graphic which indicates when 'snapshots' of the DCA website were archived. For a sense of what the website looked like before MH370 select a date prior to March 2014. For access to news and the Preliminary Report for MH370 select a date late in 2014. For example, a snapshot archived on 13 October 2014 is accessed here. This has some content relevant to both MH370 and MH17. Unfortunately, some content, such as the MH370 Newsroom, may not have been captured. But browse through the archives and you may find something useful.

Wherever possible it is the intention, on this website, to include content which is no longer publicly accessible or hard to find.



Legislation (as at 2014)

The DCA ensures compliance with standards and recommended practices of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and administers the following Malaysian legislation

Department of Civil Aviation (Malaysia)

International Civil Aviation Organisation

Malaysian Civil Aviation Regulations (1996)

Investigator-in-Charge

Annex 13 of the Convention on International Civil Aviation (Chicago, 1944) provides the international Standards and Recommended Practices for Aircraft Accident Inquiries and was developed by ICAO.

An Internet site providing access or links to other sites.

Another term for the Internet Archive, a not-for-profit digital library which stores snapshots of significant websites at various dates. See The Wayback Machine and MH370.

A representation of a website at a particular date and time. The Wayback Machine captures 'snapshots' of websites and stores the pages or files in the Web Archive.
