Three sources familiar with the contents of the cockpit voice recorder (CRV) revealed that pilots on Boeing 737 MAX, which crashed on Lion Airlines in Indonesia, had rushed through the manual before crashing to find out why the nose of the plane had rushed down, but before they could find out the reason, the plane had crashed into the sea.
A new connection was found in the investigation of the Lion Airlines crash. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and other regulators banned Boeing 737 MAX aircraft from flying in Ethiopia last week after its second air crash.
Investigators of the Indonesian air crash are considering a number of factors, including how computers react to the wrong sensor data, instructions for aircraft noses to fly down, and whether pilots have received adequate training to respond appropriately to emergencies.
This is the first time that the cockpit voice recorder of the Lion Aircraft crash has been published. All three sources asked for anonymity.
Reuters did not get the audio or the text of the recording.
Lion Airlines spokesman said all data and information were submitted to investigators and would not comment further.
According to preliminary reports released in November, when Lion Airlines crashed flight JT610 took off from Jakarta, the pilot took the helm while the co-pilot handled the call.
