BEIJING, March 21 — China’s aviation regulator said yesterday that investigators were still looking into the cause of the crash of China Eastern Airlines Flight MU5735, almost a year after the plane came down, killing all 132 people on board.
“Because the accident is very complicated and extremely rare, the investigation is carrying on in an in-depth manner,” the CAAC said, adding that experts had inspected more than 100 pieces of wreckage. But Greg Waldron, Asia managing editor of industry publication FlightGlobal said the brevity of the CAAC’s one-year statement was unusual, noting that one-year reports published by other Asian countries were often dozens to hundreds of pages long and included detailed analysis.
“This data from this equipment should have yielded detailed insights into conditions with the aircraft and in the cockpit at the time of the crash.”The Chinese regulator said investigations so far had focused on how key components were performing before the crash, and looked into air traffic control, the passengers and what the plane was carrying.
