AirAsia - Likner mer og mer på AF447

Dersom en bytter ut "climb" med "ascend", så kan en uten videre tenke seg at dette kan være et resultat av voldsomme vertikale luftmasser. Videre, er det 100% sikkert at Airbus har sikret pitot systemet mot ising?

AirAsia Flight 8501: 'Screaming' Alarms Buried Pilots' Voices, Stalling Alarm Also Heard Before Crash

AirAsia Flight 8501 alarms were "screaming" as the pilots attempted to control the plane before it crashed into the Java Sea, an investigator told Agence France-Presse (AFP) on Wednesday. Investigators at the National Transportation Safety Committee (NTSC) are analyzing the flight data recorders to determine the cause of the crash.

The NTSC investigator, who did not want to be named, told AFP that the sound of the alarms, which also included one that goes off when an aircraft stalls, were heard on the plane's cockpit voice recorder. The news comes a day after Indonesia's transport minister said that the plane made an abnormally steep climb before stalling and crashing into the sea.

"The warning alarms, we can say, were screaming, while in the background they (the pilot and co-pilot) were busy trying to recover," the investigator reportedly said, adding that the warning signals went on "for some time." The investigator also reportedly said that the pilots' voices were buried by the sound of the alarms.

Transport Minister Ignasius Jonan had said Tuesday that radar data revealed that the plane "went up faster than normal speed. ... Then it stalled."
