Mumbai: Carpur’s landing accident on Indian Express air flights that killed 21 people in August last year occurred because of the wrong decision made by the commander, lack of co-pilot firmness, poor crew scheduling policy and a series of contribution factors.
Like a broken cockpit glass wiper, heavy rains in Karipur, the wrong choice of runway and the wrong windspeed information was delivered to the pilot, said the final investigation report was released on Saturday.
On August 7, AI Express Boeing 737-800 aircraft, operated Kozhikode-Dubai flights with 184 passengers, including 10 babies and six crew members on the ship, crashing into landings at Karipur Airport at 7.41pm.
“The possibility of the cause of the accident is non-compliance with standard operating procedures by the commander, ” said the report.
The plane had touched the middle — at 4.438ft on the runway of 8.858ft.
It exceeded the runway to 155 kmpj, across the safety area, Regarding the navigation aid antenna before rolling 110 feet from the Top Hill airport.
It slammed into the airport perimeter wall at 75kmph, the report said.
The plane entered three parts about the impact, and the two machines were separated from the wing.
Before operating flights, AI Express told the commander that he had to operate flights the next day from Kozhikode to Doha.
“The commander’s actions and decisions were driven by the wrong motivation for landing in Karipur to operate flights the next morning.
The unavailability of sufficiently number of captains in Karipur is the result of the HR Express Faulty policy, “said the report.” Commander has extensive experience to land in Karipur in the same weather conditions.
This experience may cause too confident that leads to the satisfaction and the reduced state of consciousness …
“‘said the report.
The commander takes some anti-diabetes drugs that cannot be caused may cause a fine cognitive deficit …
“he added.
After a failed effort landed due to heavy rain, the pilot made the second attempt to land on the runway 28 when the air traffic controller” suggested Runway 10 to land, received by the commander without a report “, said the report.” The controller did not warn the pilot about a strong tail wind.
Runway 10 has windwind of 29kmph, and not 18 kmph as reported to the pilot.
Land aircraft and take off with the wind.
In the Tailwind landing, the aircraft takes a longer runway to touch and stop.
The plane traced unsafe offspring to land, but the commander continued with landing.
The first officer called ‘go around’.
He should take control and do it, the report said.
Go is the procedure carried out when a pilot is not sure of a safe landing.
Descendants canceled, the aircraft rises and returns for new efforts in approaches and landings.
The AIX commander continued with “an unstable approach” and the plane landed outside the touchdown zone, halfway down the runway, the report said.
After that, it increases engine power up to 83%, as if taking off.
“This explosion of additional strength made airplanes float and produce a long landing with a touchdown at 4.438ft on runway 8.858ft, ” said the report.
The plane surpassed the runway.
Captain M Ranganathan, an air salvation expert, said:” The report has identified it as a pilot error.
Poor decision making; When the wiper does not work, he must be transferred to an alternative airport.
His coercion was to land in Kozhikode to operate flight points the next day on a very serious shortage in the ‘Indian Water Safety Culture’.
