The research report suggests that the pilots responsible for the South Korean plane crash

The initial results of an investigation on December devastating Jeju Air Shock In the south, Korea showed that, while the two plane engines sustained bird strikestheir pilots turned off the least damaged just before their accidental landing. The finding, which implied human errors, caused rapid protests and vehement of disconsolate families and companions pilots who accuse authorities to try to change the responsibility of the disaster to the dead pilots.

The Aviation and Railroad Research Board of South Korea initially planned to advertise the results of the plane’s engines on Saturday. But he was forced to cancel his press conference against strong protests from relatives of accident victims who were informed of the findings earlier in the day, according to government officials and disconsolate families.

“If they mean that their research was conducted reliably and independently, they should have presented evidence that supports their explanation,” said Kim Yu-Jin, head of an association of afflicted families. “None of us bothers the pilots.”

The Boeing 737-800 operated by Jeju Air landed in his belly without his land team deployed at the Southern Southern International Airport of South Korea on December 29. He excubated a fugitive, crashed into a concrete structure and exploded in flames. It was the deadliest disaster in the history of the Aviation of South Korea in decades, killing all except two of the 181 people on board.

According to a copy of an unpublished informative report obtained by News, a multilateral research team led by South Korea said he did not find defects in the plane engines built by Safran and GE of France.

The report says that the exhaustive exams of the engines discovered that the right engine of the plane suffered more serious internal damage after bird attacks, since it was wrapped in large fires and black smoke. But the pilots turned off the left engine of the plane, according to the report citing probes in the cabin voice recorder, the flight data recorder and the motor exams.

The authorities said previously that the black boxes of the Boeing Jetliner stopped registering approximately four minutes before the accident, which complicated the investigations on the cause of the disaster. He cabin voice recorder and the flight data recorder cited in the information report refers to the data stored before the recording was stopped.

The report did not say why the pilots closed the less damaged engine and did not stop to say if the pilots were an error of the pilots.

Dissolated families and pilots in Jeju Air and other airlines criticized the results of the investigation, saying that the authorities must reveal the voice recorder of the cabin and the flight data recorder.

“We, the 6,500 Pilots of Civilian Airlines, we cannot contain our Hirviente anger against the absurd argument of the Aviation and Railway Accident Research Board that lost neutrality,” said the Corean Pilot Unions Alliance in a statement on Tuesday.

The unionized pilots in Jeju Air also issued a statement that urged the authorities to present scientific evidence to show that the plane should have normally landed if it flew with the least damaged engine.

The last report focused only on motor problems and did not mention other factors that could also be attributed to the accident. Among them is the concrete structure in which the plane crashed. It housed a set of antennas called locators designed to guide the airplanes safely during the landings, and many analysts say it should have been done with materials easier to break. Some pilots say they suspect that the Government would not want to blame and prominently blame the locators or bird attacks due to mass deaths, since Muan’s airport is under direct administration of the Ministry of Transportation.

The Aviation and Railway Accident Research Board and the Ministry of Transportation have not offered public response to criticism. They said that they will not publicly discuss the engine investigations to respect the demands of the afflicted families.

A person familiar with the investigation told the AP that the authorities are analyzing the locators and other problems, as if air traffic controllers transmitted the danger of bird attacks to the pilots quickly enough and which emergency training Jeju Air offered the pilots. The person, who requested anonymity by citing the sensitive nature of the investigation, said that the authorities planned to advertise the results of the probes after reviewing several issues, but changed the plan and tried to publish the result of engine investigations at the request of disconsolate families. He said that the authorities do not intend to present the responsibility of the disaster to the pilots.

The authorities aim to publish the final results of the investigation for next June, said the person.

But Kwon Bo Hun, dean of the Aeronautical College of the University of the Far East in South Korea, described the planned announcement of the “clumsy” government because it did not reveal evidence that supported its finding in the pilots. He said he only irritated “emotional parts of us that research blames dead people.”

A former Ministry of Transportation turned into a university professor achieved by the AP said that the motor research report must be “reliable”, since it is based on an analysis of voice data and flight recorders of the cabin that “do not lie.” He spoke on condition of anonymity citing the delicate nature of the problem.
