Other reports have described the pilot's final moments, which are said to have been spent working through a technical manual in search of a solution.
Personnel from Indonesia's National Transportation Safety Board examine debris from the downed Lion Air flight at Tanjung Priok port in Jakarta on November 1, 2018.Pilots on a fatal Lion Air 737 Max flight reportedly hit an override switch dozens of times in a bid to stop them crashing, sources told The New York Times.
Pressing the switch was the right first step, they said, but needed to be followed by pressing two more switches to turn off a motor which was pointing the plane downward.The official investigation has yet to return a conclusion. The flight crashed in October in Indonesia, killing all 189 people on board.
