Boeing reminds pilots to monitor planes closely following Indonesia crash
Boeing Co has issued a technical bulletin to airlines reminding them to ensure pilots closely monitor the airplane’s state and flight path to prevent a loss of control in flight, according to two people with knowledge of the matter.
The bulletin was sent after Indonesia issued a preliminary report into a January 9 Sriwijaya Air crash that killed all 62 people on board a 737-500.
It was not explicitly linked to that crash and covers other Boeing models but it addresses one of the potential areas of interest for investigators following the accident, pending the discovery of the cockpit voice recorder memory unit.
