EthiopianAirlines pilots followed Boeing guidelines before crash - report
Washington - The pilots of the Ethiopian Airlines Boeing 737 MAX plane that crashed last month initially took the emergency steps outlined by the manufacturer but still could not regain control, The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday.
The first -- a Lion Air crash in Indonesia that killed 189 people in October -- led to Boeing issuing a bulletin reminding operators of emergency guidelines to override a specially developed anti-stall system on MAX planes. They then switched the system back as they tried to find other ways to control the jet before it crashed, the newspaper added.
The preliminary report on the accident will likely be issued this week, the Ethiopian government has said.
