Indonesian transportation officials denied dramatic details of the cockpit voice recorder that had been leaked to media.
By Stanley Widianto March 21 at 7:24 AM JAKARTA, Indonesia — Indonesian investigators overseeing a probe into what went wrong on a Lion Air Boeing 737 Max 8 plane that crashed last year said Thursday that an off-duty third pilot was in the cockpit during that aircraft’s last safe flight.
However, Soerjanto Tjahjono, the head of Indonesia’s National Transportation Safety Committee, pushed back on reports that detailed the contents in the doomed flight’s cockpit voice recorder, one of the two “black boxes” recovered after the crash. The reports, he said, “were not in line with the actual content” which belongs “solely to the KNKT” he said.
“The KNKT believes that the reports in the media are based on someone’s opinions, or several parties’ opinion,” said Soerjanto.
