From today's Ethiopian Airlines press release:
"The preliminary report clearly showed that the Ethiopian Airlines Pilots who were commanding FlightET 302/10 March have followed the Boeing recommended and FAA approved emergency procedures to handle the most difficult emergency situation created on the airplane. Despite their hard work and full compliance with the emergency procedures, it was very unfortunate that they could not recover the airplane from the persistence of nose diving. As the investigation continues with more detailed analysis, as usual we will continue with our full cooperation with the investigation team."
Edit: perhaps you're refering to the LionAir crash, where they didn't disable stabilzer trim?
- qaq 8y agoThats a press release there is cockpit audio pilots vocalize actions when they take them the cutout switches were never turned off. Would you point to the part of the actual report that says the position of cutout switches was off?
- mhandley 8y agoThe preliminary report is not yet public - Ethiopian have seen it, hence their press release, and some of the media have been briefed on its contents, hence the BBC article, but it's not yet public.
- qaq 8y agoOk on other resources with more details from the report it does look like pilots followed the full procedure
- qaq 8y agoOK it looks like pilots actually followed the procedure but could not manually trim stabilizer back to neutral.
