Jeju Air pilots reportedly turned off incorrect engine prior to deadly crash
According to a reliable source, it has been found through the analysis of the cockpit voice recorder, flight computer, and an engine switch that pilots accidentally turned off the wrong engine during a critical situation. This mistake occurred despite the other engine experiencing more serious damage. News.Az, citing Reuters, states that the investigative team is confident in their findings, which will not be altered. The tragic crash, which happened during an emergency landing at Muan International Airport, marked one of South Korea's deadliest aviation incidents in many years. The families of the victims have expressed dissatisfaction with the investigation, claiming it prematurely concludes pilot error without considering external elements, such as the aircraft hitting an embankment during the landing. The pilots' union at Jeju Air has contested these findings, stating that both engines were damaged by bird strikes. The final report, to be published within a year in compliance with international aviation regulations, is eagerly awaited.
