The second pilot of the aircraft, Germanwings, Andreas Lubitz, suspected of deliberately break March 24 machines flying from Barcelona to Duesseldorf, during the morning flight that day tested the quick descent the aircraft – such Information concluded in a report just published by French investigators. This corroborated earlier reports the German newspaper “Bild”.
The preliminary report of the French Committee. plane crashes (BEA) show that during the flight the same Airbus A320 to Barcelona from Duesseldorf Lubitz five times over four minutes reduced the plane, and then increased its height. The other members of the crew, passengers or French flight controllers could not realize that it performs this maneuver, because the machine when approached for landing.
I can not speculate on what has happened in his head. I can only say that I pressed the button to change the minimum setting to a hundred feet, and he did it a couple of times – said the head of the BEA Remi Jouty.
With the population of 30 pages of a document can be concluded that the first flight March 24 captain, with whom flew as a second pilot Lubitz, he left the cockpit. He was not there for 4.5 minutes. Moments after leaving the captain of the cab several times Lubitz reduced the airbus, including several times, only a hundred feet or about 30 meters.
According to investigators, during a return flight from Barcelona to Duesseldorf after reaching the so-called machine. cruising altitude Lubitzowi captain said that he was leaving the cockpit and asked him to take the helm. Just 30 seconds after closing the door, 27-year-old began to perform pre-rehearsed maneuver. Using the autopilot, reduced machine for a hundred feet, which is low enough to break the plane of the surrounding mountains. Then changed the settings continue to increase the speed of the Airbus.
The investigative report is based on records from the black boxes machines that crashed in the French Alps. The crash killed 150 people, mostly citizens of Germany and Spain.
BEA emphasized that it is a preliminary report and that it is still investigating “systemic weaknesses that could lead to this event and similar events”. The final report will be published in about a year, and may contain recommendations on the door to the cockpit and use of medical records of pilots by the airlines. As mentioned in the report, investigators focused on “the balance between medical confidentiality and security of flights.”
About the conclusions of the preliminary report on the BEA reported earlier German “Bild”. According to the tabloid, the behavior of the co-pilot proves that he acted deliberately, and not on impulse. The author believes that it can not be ruled out that Lubitz not only wanted to test the fast reduction of the machine, but perhaps going to break it down already during the previous flight.
The first black box with a record of conversations and other sounds in the cockpit shortly found after the disaster. Analysis of this device led to believe that Lubitz barricaded himself in the cockpit and refused to let the captain, then deliberately crashed the machine. Readings from the other cases have confirmed the thesis of his deliberate actions.
The analysis showed a personal computer LUBITZ turn that he was looking online for information about “how to commit suicide”, and also checked the information on the cockpit door and security.
Earlier, German airline Lufthansa, which include cheap Germanwings, reported that in 2009 Lubitz informed about the passage of “severe depressive episode.”
After the crash the pilot was found in the house torn release Medical indicate that on the day when the crash, was ill and should not have to go.
