An investigation into the fatal plane crash in Nepal last July has identified inappropriate weight and speed as key factors contributing to the disaster. The crash, which claimed the lives of 22 people, has been the subject of an extensive probe by aviation authorities.
According to the preliminary findings released on Thursday, the aircraft involved was significantly over its recommended weight limit at the time of the crash. Additionally, the plane was traveling at excessive speed during its approach, which compounded the risk and ultimately led to the accident. These factors severely compromised the aircraft’s performance and stability, leading to the tragic outcome.
The flight, operated by a regional carrier, was en route from Kathmandu to Pokhara when it went down shortly before landing. The investigation revealed that the pilots had not adhered to established weight and speed protocols, which are critical for safe landings in challenging terrain.
Aviation experts and regulatory officials have expressed concern over the findings, highlighting the need for stricter adherence to safety procedures and enhanced training for flight crews. The investigation also noted lapses in the airline’s operational oversight, suggesting a broader issue with compliance and safety culture within the carrier.
In response to the report, the airline has pledged to review and overhaul its safety practices and operational protocols. The Nepalese government and aviation authorities have also committed to strengthening regulations and oversight to prevent similar incidents in the future.
The investigation shows how crucial it is to follow safety rules in aviation, especially in challenging conditions. It highlights the need for constant attention to safety and better practices to prevent such accidents from happening again.
