JAKARTA - Indonesian investigators said on Thursday the cockpit voice recorder from a crashed Lion Air Boeing Co 737 MAX 8 jet showed pilots were searching for the right checklist in their handbooks and were experiencing airspeed and altitude issues.
Investigators said they have 90 percent of the data needed for a final report on the October crash that killed 189 people. The report is now expected to be released in August. The investigation has taken on new urgency after a second 737 MAX 8 crash at Ethiopian Airlines last week killed 157 people and led to the global grounding of the model.
A different crew on the same plane the evening before encountered the same problem with the computer ordering the plane’s nose down but solved it after running through three checklists, according to a preliminary report released by KNKT in November. Reuters on Wednesday reported it was a captain at Lion Air’s full-service sister carrier Batik Air who solved the flight control problems, according to two sources.
