At an altitude of 900 m at the same time return the crew of the wheel “by itself” aircraft stabilizer was rejected by five degrees dive, causing the plane “went to the vigorous decrease with the implementation of vertical acceleration to -1 units.”. Follow the crew was not allowed to prevent a collision of the aircraft with the ground. The collision occurred at speeds exceeding 600 km / h with a pitch angle to dive more than 50 degrees.

The IAC report noted that aircraft pilots had valid certificates of pilots are trained, have sufficient coating on this type of aircraft and all the necessary documents.

I’m also not surprised that this happened, “- said one of the pilots interviewed. According to him, the crew members are often in a state of exhaustion and suffer from fatigue. “This is a significant risk. Employees after night shifts go on day without sufficient rest in between. I would say that 50% of the airline staff are suffering from acute fatigue “- added FlyDubai employee.
