Preliminary Report AirAsia QZ 8501 Release On Jan. 28 To Verify Human Error, Dangerous Defects And Crew Response

The Black Boxes on the AirAsia QZ 8501 Airbus 320-200 have been examined by Indonesia's search and rescue team, and early investigative results have been announced. The preliminary report of the AirAsia QZ 8501 will be released on Jan. 28, reports confirmed.

Early findings revealed the Airbus was climbing at faster than normal speeds before its plunge into the Java Sea. So far, 53 bodies have been found, and the rest of the remains are believed to be in the main fuselage.

After downloading data from the flight and cockpit recorders, investigators maintain that there was no foul play, gun shots or terrorist type activists involved in the AirAsia QZ 8501 crash. However, they are still working on the 8501 case to deconstruct the cause of the crash.

Although bad weather and icy conditions were part of the flight path, reports indicated that permission to fly from 11 ft to 38 ft was given only after AirAsia 8501 lost touch with control tower radar. In a previous request, the Captain had requested permission for the plane to fly to the left due to bad weather and this request was granted.

"Having eliminated this possibility (terrorism), the investigators moved on to that of the plane having had dangerous defects as well as human factors that might have accounted for the crash. Furthermore, bad weather could have led to the sad turn of events, according to the meteorological agency of Indonesia," NewsIslandCrisis.net reported.

Meanwhile, an officer investigating the AirAsia crash, Monarchy Utomo said in a statement, "The investigators will now have to verify as to how did the systems making up the plane and the people in charge of it responded to the bad weather. Invaluable data concerning the plane will be available from the flight data recorder which keeps track of every important part of the plane, recording the altitude at which it is flying together with its direction."
