The families of the victims are suing Boeing against the tragedy of an airline

This revelation comes as the families of the dead who died in the flight crash in Indonesia, Lion Air, announced that they were going to sue Boeing, the builder of the 737 MAX 8, which sank in the Java Sea a few minutes later. takeoff, claiming that the plane was "excessively dangerous". .

Nurcahyo Utomo, chairman of the National Committee for Transport Safety in Indonesia, informed the political leaders of the House of Representatives of the country of the data extracted from the 737 flight recorder, said the Australian.

He added that the captain and the co-pilot had to deal with different speed measurements when the plane had skyrocketed, then sank several times.

The pilot desperately attempted to correct the aircraft's irregular flight, allegedly caused by a new aircraft-mounted anti-stall device, which may not have functioned properly because of inaccurate speed information reaching the aircraft's controls. automated flights.

This could have automatically adjusted the flaps of the aircraft to "reduce" the jet of the aircraft's nose as the controls tried to correct what he thought was the pilot's nose.

Potentially, as part of an automatic action to prevent a stall that did not occur, the jet actually caused the aircraft to stall.

"At an altitude of 5,000 feet, we notice here that the purple line is automatically reduced. It's a tool to lower the nose of the plane because the plane will come off the hook, "said Nurcahyo.

"This movement is opposed by the pilot. So after the compensation, the electric pilot continued to fight until the end of the flight. "

The flight control function and its potential role in the accident are at the heart of a lawsuit brought before the US District Court by aviation specialist Wisner Law Firm, on behalf of the families of the US passenger JT610.

After the Lion Air crash on October 29, Boeing warned airlines of a possible failure of this new feature that, under "unusual conditions, can push (the nose of the plane) towards the unexpectedly and so loudly that flight crews can not lift it. " according to the Wall Street newspaper report.

Wisner Law Firm states that the sensors in the flight control function "were likely to fail or be blocked or obstructed in flight, providing inaccurate information to the aircraft's flight control system at the angle". "attack" of the device.

He also alleges that the flight control system did not filter the inaccurate information and that the flight manual did not warn of the dangers presented by the defects.

The lawsuit alleges that inaccurate information has caused a deep, dangerous dive of the aircraft and that the flight crew could in no way prevent it from diving safely into the sea.

Floyd Wisner of the Chicago-based law firm said the families of the 189 victims deserved reasonable compensation.

"It quickly became apparent that it was probably a fault of the Boeing aircraft, which caused indescribable anguish for the loved ones of the victims, not to mention the enormous financial burden that many of them had. between us will have to bear, "he said.

Boeing claimed to be "confident in the safety of the 737 MAX".

A the Wall Street newspaper report earlier this month accused Boeing of withholding information on a potential loophole with the control feature.

This feature had been added to the American manufacturer's 737 MAX 8 and 9 aircraft, updated models of its top-selling 737s.

Security experts involved in the investigation said that US aviation officials and airline pilots had not learned that the new system had been added to the 737 MAX aircraft.

Captain Mike Michaelis, president of the US Allied Pilots Association, said the pilots should have been trained to work with the new technology.

"It's pretty simple for them to set up a system in an airplane and not tell the pilots who operate this plane, especially when it comes to flight controls," he said. Newspaper. "Why have not they been trained for this?"

Lion Air's Boeing 737 MAX 8, a few months old, hit the sea off Jakarta a few minutes after its departure for the Indonesian destination of Pangkal Pinang on October 29th.

Authorities are still looking for the flight deck recorder to help figure out what's wrong.

Preliminary flight data suggest that passengers on the convicted flight 610 experienced nasty aerial declines during the 13 minute flight before the plane rushed at high speed into the Java Sea.
