First dayfor crashpilot aideSEOUL: The trainer as-signed to guide a pilot whocrash-landed an Asiana Air-lines plane in San Franciscowas on his first day in thejob, the carrier says.

With speculation mount-ing pilot error may havecaused the fatal accident,the South Korean airlineconfirmed yesterday trainerLee Jung-Min had receivedhis teaching licence for theBoeing 777 just a month be-fore the crash on Saturday.

The trainer, an experi-enced pilot with thousandsof flying hours, was as-signed to guide colleagueLee Kang-Kuk, who waslanding in the US city forthe first time on that modelof aircraft.

‘‘This is not something ab-normal. Every trainer hashis first day as a trainer,’’ anAsiana spokeswoman said.

She said the trainerhad more than 3000 hoursof flight time on theBoeing 777.

The pilot, by contrast, hadjust 43 hours flying thatmodel but was experiencedon other aircraft withmore than 9000 hours offlight time under his belt,Asiana said.

Two people were killedand more than 180 peopleinjured when the flightfrom Seoul crash-landedon Saturday.

PM mumon Kiwispy leakBy LAURA MCQUILLAN

WELLINGTON: US intelli-gence leaker EdwardSnowden may have moredirt on a New Zealand spyagency to reveal, but PrimeMinister John Key is refus-ing to say what briefings he’shad about potential leaks.

Spy links between theUnited States and its ‘‘FiveEyes’’ intelligence-sharingpartners — New Zealand,Australia, Canada and theUK — are among the latestrevelations from Snowden,who is on the run from USauthorities after revealingdetails of the US National Se-curity Agency’s Prism spyprogram to media.

He gave Brazilian news-paper O Globo a map show-ing collection points for theNSA’s ‘‘X-Keyscore’’ pro-gram — including the NZGovernment Communicat-ions Security Bureau’s(GCSB’s) Waihopai base andfour Australian sites.

X-Keyscore is understoodto process signals dealingwith video, voice calls andonline communications.

Snowden says the NSA’spartners do full dragnet col-lection for calls, texts anddata, but how much they getdepends on the capability ofindividual collection sites,offering Britain’s GCHQ asone of the most extensivedata collectors.

Mr Key has refused to saywhether he’s been briefed onwhat information Snowdenmight have, but says he has‘‘a sense’’ of what could beout there.

‘‘I’m aware that (he’s) exfil-trated a whole lot of inform-ation and I’m aware of whereNew Zealand shares inform-ation,’’ Mr Key said.

He would not comment onwhat X-Keyscore is, but re-iterated that the GCSB didnot use its partners’ surveil-lance capabilities to floutlaws banning it from spyingon New Zealanders.

The two teenage victims of the Asiana airline crash are mourned at a gathering in Jiangshancity in China on Monday. The two girls were classmates named Ye Mengyuan andWang Linjia,who were killed when the plane crashed while trying to land in San Francisco
