The initial results of the investigation of the destroyed Jiro Jero in December in South Korea showed that while both the plane’s engines continued to strike birds, its pilots stopped one less destroyed before they abandoned the accident.
The result, which involves human errors, attracted rapid, severe protests from the crowded families and colleagues who accuse the authorities of trying to transfer responsibility for the disaster into the dead pilots.
The Board of Investigations in Airlines and Railways in South Korea initially plan to publish the results of the investigation into the aircraft engines on Saturday. But it was forced to cancel its news briefing in the face of strong protests by the relatives of the collision who were informed of the results earlier in the day, according to government officials and bereaved families.
“If they want to say that their investigations have taken place in a reliable and independent way, they must reach evidence to support their interpretation,” said Kim Yu Jin, president of the Association of Families, said: “None of us resent the pilots.”
Boeing 737-800, which is run by Jeju Air, landed on its stomach without being deployed at South Korea airport in southern Mawan International on December 29. She beat the fugitive, collided with a concrete structure and exploded in fire. This is the bloody catastrophe in the history of flying in South Korea for decades, killing all 181 people.
According to a copy of an unpublished summary report obtained by the Associated Press, a South Korean multilateral investigation team said that no defects were found in the plane engines, built by France Safran and GE.
The report said that the comprehensive tests of the engines found that the right engine of the plane suffered more serious internal damage in the wake of bird strikes, as it was mired in large fires and black smoke. The report said the pilots extinguished the left engine of the plane, citing investigations on the cockpit audio recorder, a trip data recorder and the engine examination.
Officials said earlier that black boxes in Boeing birds stopped recording about four minutes before the accident, which complicated investigations into the cause of the disaster. The Voice of the Cheap Voice and Recorder of the Trip Data mentioned in the briefing report refers to the stored data before the registration stops.
The report did not say why the pilots closed the less drinking engine and stopped saying whether this was a mistake by the pilots.
The pilots union blows
Families and pilots in Jeju Air and other airlines criticized the results of the investigation, saying that the authorities should reveal the cockpit audio recorder and a trip data recorder.
“We, our 6500 pilots in civil airlines, cannot contain our angry anger against the prejudices by the Board of investigating aviation accidents and railways that lost neutrality,” the Korean Experimental Syndicate Alliance said in a statement on Tuesday.
The union pilots at Jeju Air also issued a statement urging the authorities to provide scientific evidence to show that the plane should have landed naturally if it flew with the less damaged engine.
The last report focused only on engine problems and did not mention other factors that can also be blamed for a break.
Among them the concrete structure was crashed. It included a group of antennas called translators designed to direct the aircraft during the landing, and many analysts say it should have been made of easily broken materials. Some pilots say they are suspected that the government will not want to blame a prominent blame for translators or bird strikes due to mass deaths, as Moan’s direct airport is subject to the country’s Ministry of Transport.
The Board of Investigations in Aviation Accidents, Railways and the Ministry of Transport did not provide any public response to cash.
Coone Bou Hoon, Dean of the Faculty of Aviation at the Al -Aqsa University in South Korea, described the planned government’s “clinical” announcement because he did not reveal the evidence that supported its discovery on the pilots. He said he was only annoyed.
A former professor at the Ministry of Transport, which has turned to the university AP, said that the engine investigation report must be “reliable” because it depends on an analysis for the establishment of audio and aviation data “does not lie”. He spoke on the condition that his identity is not disclosed, citing the sensitive nature of the issue.
