An plane that crashed in Nepal last month, killing 71 people on a board, had no thrust movement in its engines within the ultimate leg of its descent, a government-appointed panel investigating the accident says.
The airplane crashed simply earlier than touchdown within the vacationer metropolis of Pokhra on January 15 in one among Nepal’s worst airplane accidents in 30 years.
There have been 72 passengers on the twin-engine ATR 72 plane operated by Nepal’s Yeti Airways, together with two infants, 4 crew members and 10 overseas residents.
Rescuers recovered 71 our bodies, with one unaccounted individual presumed to be useless.
Evaluation of the cockpit voice recorder and flight information recorder confirmed the propellers of each engines went into “feather within the base leg of descending,” the panel mentioned in a press release.
Aviation professional KB Limbu mentioned propellers going into feather meant there was “no thrust” within the engine, or that it didn’t produce any energy.
