- The Ethiopian Civil Aviation Authority has released a preliminary report into an Ethiopian Airlines crash on March 10 that killed 157 people and resulted in the worldwide grounding of more than 300 Boeing 737 MAX jets.
The accident was the second fatal crash involving Boeing’s 737 MAX 8 model in five months, after a Lion Air flight crashed in Indonesia in October.- The Ethiopian Airlines jet had faulty sensor readings indicating the “angle of attack”, which is the angle the plane must maintain to avoid going into a stall.- The flight control problems meant the captain was unable to maintain the flight path and the crew lost control of the aircraft.
- The crew followed all the recommended procedures to deal with the emergency, Ethiopian officials said when presenting the report. Safety experts said this would likely spark a debate over the conduct of the flight with U.S. regulators and Boeing. - Two momentary electric trim inputs were made about 32 seconds before the end of the recording. Sources familiar with the aircraft say this suggests the system driving the MCAS anti-stall software had re-engaged, which only a person can do.
