JAKARTA/SINGAPORE/PARIS - The pilots of a doomed Lion Air Boeing 737 MAX scrambled through a handbook to understand why the jet was lurching downwards in the final minutes before it hit the water killing all 189 people on board, three people with knowledge of the cockpit voice recorder contents said.
It is the first time the voice recorder contents from the Lion Air flight have been made public. The three sources discussed them on condition of anonymity.A Lion Air spokesman said all data and information had been given to investigators and declined to comment further.The captain was at the controls of Lion Air flight JT610 when the nearly new jet took off from Jakarta, and the first officer was handling the radio, according to a preliminary report issued in November.
For the next nine minutes, the jet warned pilots it was in a stall and pushed the nose down in response, the report showed. A stall is when the airflow over a plane’s wings is too weak to generate lift and keep it flying. But they did not pass on all of the information about the problems they encountered to the next crew, the report said.
The flight data recorder shows the final control column inputs from the first officer were weaker than the ones made earlier by the captain.
